Obviously, Waldo didn't think there was anything that could not be said in such a way.

"At least there will be basic politeness on the surface, I thought that the nobles of the imperial capital were unusually unruly, arrogant, and looked at people with their noses."

Ian said, and Birch shook his head: "What are you talking about, where are such nobles, they don't really tear their faces, they are all amiable on the surface - just like my teacher and the other fairy doctor, they praise each other's research results all day long, but they will never fight when they are not fighting for funding." ”

"I think what I said and what you said, although it seems to be somewhat similar, are fundamentally different."

Ian complained, and Frostbutterfly sat on the boy's shoulder, causing the smell of coffee ice to come, "It seems that my Frostbutterfly can cheer people up just by virtue of her own taste." ”

On the surface, he said so, but Ian was actually quite solemn in his heart.

Someone was killed, and there was a first aid team to help, which may have been a little slow but it would come, and the nobles were not arrogant enough to treat the lives of ordinary people as nothing - although they were quite arrogant and dismissive, they couldn't really ignore this, which was enough to prove that the laws of the empire were still somewhat useful and could restrain these nobles.

It can even be said that the aristocracy regarded the loss of life of ordinary people as a nuisance and would try to avoid such property losses, and those who could not guarantee such property would be punished.

But it's not really for the sake of human life to be punished.

In some ways, this may be a little more terrifying.

"Inaegar II outlawed slavery and brought about more efficient ways of working and cooperating, and his laws and norms are still enforced in the land. The problem is that slaves may still be cared for by their masters, while hired waiters will be picky or even discarded at will. ”

Shaking his head slightly, Ian took these questions to heart.

They came to the seventh floor.

The seventh floor is a park - it sounds exaggerated, there is an entire floor area inside the imperial capital that is a man-made natural landscape, but in reality, anyone needs to relax once in a while, even if it is for the mood and bring more work efficiency, the existence of the park is reasonable.

By the time Ian entered the seventh floor, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and Isengard should have arrived early, presumably waiting for him somewhere.

He looked around and saw a plaza at the entrance on the left, a semicircular field enclosed by metal pillars connecting the upper and lower floors, with rows of tables and chairs, and vendors selling everything from sausage bread to pureed noodles, and Ian even saw someone selling pickled cucumbers with pickled fish, which smelled unexpectedly appetizing.

Beyond the square, a lush parkland, the stony path is covered by shadowy shrubs that stretches deep into the woods, where you can see walking pedestrians chatting with their companions, and the soothing artificial light overhead deepens this sense of tranquility.

Ian quickly sensed the aura of Isengard, and the essentia characteristics recorded by the silver chip were quite conspicuous, and there was a noticeable enhancement compared to two months ago. Obviously, after Isengard returned to the imperial capital, he had significantly improved in terms of sublimation, after all, he had experienced a lot of life-and-death battles, and he must have a deeper understanding of his bloodline.

Ian and the Birch Frost Butterfly walked into the forest park, which is said to have been a refuge period, a large ecological garden in the imperial capital, in short, a place to grow vegetables and fruit trees, where you can faintly see some buildings deep in the forest, and the tall storage center is cast of white solid stone, which has been carefully renovated and has become another resting place for pedestrians.

That's why the sixth floor is the storage center, because that level is the area where all kinds of food supplies are stored and distributed during the shelter period.

"My friend also likes to come to the seventh floor to read. But not here, but on top of the old building over there—there's a bed-like structure, and it's beautiful to lie there and read. ”

Birch raised his hand and pointed at the ancient storage center, while Ian looked at it and couldn't help but smile dumbly: "That's the roof of the beam in the storage center, not the bed...... But maybe it's the same for the elves? Well, lying on the roof reading a book and enjoying the breeze, you friend will really enjoy it. ”

"yes!" Birch flaps her wings happily as well.

Frostbutterfly nodded thoughtfully.

The air circulation system of the imperial capital is very good, and there is also a flowing wind circling in the park layer, and because of the vegetation, the wind here is fresher, and the noise of the forest and sea is clearer in the closed environment, reaching the depths of the park.

In the corner of a rather quiet and remote courtyard, a young man with shoulder-length blond hair was wearing a half-length cloak and sitting beside a remnant of the arched wall by the side of the road.

Wearing a thick velvet coat with gold trim on a black background, Isengard was quietly staring at the book in his hand.

Because he was too serious, perhaps because he was really not dangerous, the snow-white pigeons foraged and walked beside him, forming a rather harmonious picture.

As Ian and the elves approached, he sensed the noise, and he looked up to see his friend emerge from the shadows of the trees, his green eyes lit up like a lake in the woods.

"You're here?"

Isengard closed the book and stood up happily, while the pigeon on his side also flew up because of this action, but did not fly too far: "Did something happen?" Or did you have afternoon tea with the two fairy ladies? ”

He knew that Ian was accompanied by Birch and Frostbutterfly along the way, and even knew that Frostbutterfly was the little goblin that Ian had brought out from the ruins of the South Seas - Isengard also politely saluted the two elf ladies: "It's been a hard journey along the way, please allow me to pick up the dust for you later and treat you well." ”

"Both."

With the relationship between Ian and Isengard, naturally there was no need for any greetings, they often used communication devices to communicate, and soon got to the point: "I did have tea with Birch and Frost Butterfly for a while, but I encountered some things on the way over. ”

He told the blonde boy about the matter with Waldo Noka, as well as the car accident, which made the other party frown slightly: "The Noka family? Waldo...... He was my classmate. Our relationship is relatively average, and he doesn't make things difficult for you. ”

"As for the victim you helped......"

Bowing his head slightly, Isengard recalled the people he tried to help in the Great Labyrinth of the South Sea, those who were parasitized by the Brain Eater...... Those who, until the end, he did not rescue.

When he looked up again, Isengard said seriously: "There may be other people, even the victims themselves, who feel that you are messing around and causing a lot of trouble. But let's be honest, accept my opinion - Ian you're doing the right and good thing, and I'm here to help you. ”

"At the beginning, I didn't have the strength to persevere in the right way to the end, and this time, I am willing to help Ian to persist in your good deeds until the end."

With that, Isengard pulled a crystal from his bosom, the same crystal plate Patrick had used when he first contacted the pirates. He wrote a lot of words on it, apparently asking for good care for the victim.

"Isengard......" Ian was stunned, he originally wanted to tease that the other party was a little too serious, he had already dealt with the matter, and he didn't need the Ellen family to solve the matter perfectly......

"Thank you. With your words, the victim will probably suffer a lot less. ”

But he finally sighed and replied seriously: "Sometimes you may need to be so serious. It sounds a bit naïve, but I'm afraid you're more sincere than me when it comes to attitude. ”

"Than you? How can it be. Without you, I didn't even know this would happen, there was no way to talk about help and sincerity, I was always one step late. Isengard smiled self-deprecatingly: "What's more, it's just one person." How many ordinary people can we help in difficulty? ”

After speaking, he raised his head and looked at the two fairy ladies on the side, and said gently: "This number of people, the park chair can't sit down...... I think we'll have to find a quiet place and talk about what we've been doing lately. ”

Just as Isengard took Ian and his party to one of the Eren family's residences in the imperial capital.

In a hidden mansion, a noble lady is meditating on a pile of files with a glowing bird.
