The figure that Xavier and Viscount Wallace are talking about is none other than the titular leader of the Vasiliki, Vernon.

After a farewell outside the Governor's Palace, this goodbye is the second side. At that time, he used to wave flags, shout slogans, promote rights, and look energetic, but now, he is haggard, not like the leader who led the people to attack the governor's palace.

The latest chapter is in ? on the update

This made Xavier, who had just arrived at the Governor's Palace, sigh and stand aside without saying more. According to the herald, the leader of great prestige used his virtue to stop the mob and order them to disband, while he himself entered the Doge's palace to negotiate with the Minoan, who had nominally the highest power.

He knew very well that the military strength of the Minos was not something that the young men who were instigated could fight against, and if they really dared to kill the governor, it might be a massacre by the army, so for the sake of the Vasiliky, he did not let the matter expand, but wanted to calm it down quickly.

He was not worried that the governor would not agree to negotiate, and without soldiers, he had no reason to refuse, although he was not afraid of death, but if he could, no one would choose to throw away the lifebuoy in the event of a disaster.

The negotiation itself was just an opportunity, and Vernon showed goodwill to the Governor, hoping that the Governor would not slaughter the city when the Minoan army returned.

After all, the riot is over, even if they have to settle accounts after the autumn and try to hunt down the thugs, it is impossible to kill the entire Cretan city, as the capital of Vasiliki, the Minoans are estimated to still have face.

But if the riots continue, the army will not pay attention to so much, and it will be suppressed, and when the time comes, there will definitely be many more casualties than now, which is not what Vernon wants to see.

What he hoped was for the Governor not to pursue the rioting people, and of course he knew that this was very unlikely, but as long as it minimized the number of casualties, it would be sufficient.

As for the Governor, he didn't really want to anger the leader in front of him at this moment, although he knew that this Vernon was probably not the initiator of the riot, but with his prestige just now, the act of stopping the rioters with just one move really shocked the Governor.

He thought that if such a man was forced to the side of the rebels, the scale of the riot might be out of control, and as a governor, his duty should be to gradually integrate the city of Crete into Minos, and then it would be a revolt for the army to kill everyone.

So, neither Vernon nor the Governor wanted the riot to continue, but the Governor always needed scapegoats, so Xavier looked at the Governor and sighed at Vernon and said:

"To be honest, it's not that I can't agree to your conditions, but as a governor, in the face of such a riot, it is always necessary to punish some people, so who do you think I should let be the mastermind of this riot?"

Vernon was silent for a few seconds, then responded, "You can make me the mastermind, and as long as I'm dead, I hope you don't hold the rest accountable." ”

"What a noble character, Mr. Vernon. The Governor looked out the window speechlessly, "I understand your feelings, but have you ever thought that if you die, the riot will only grow larger?"

"They will feel that it was our evil Minoans who killed their beloved leader and then rebelled. When the time comes, what the army does will not be in my control. ”

“...... So what the hell do you want me to say?" Vernon asked rhetorically, gritting his teeth.

"It's simple, hand over the list of the insurrectionists. The governor propped his chin with his hands and rested his elbows on the table: "Anyway, you don't support them, isn't it good that they let them die and get the punishment they deserve?"

"I think, smart you, should be able to make the right choice. ”
