"Lord Barb, Lord Monica."

After leaving the master bedroom of the castle, the other officers walked away briskly without saying a word, as if they had received some instructions, and went to the hall on the second floor, where they whispered to the dignitaries who were still waiting and discussing, while Matthew, who had a solemn expression all the year round, fell behind the officers, glanced at His Royal Highness, and asked directly to Babu and Monica: "Your Excellency, two travelers, may I ask, is the weapon you just mentioned really powerful enough?" ”

Babu was stunned for a moment, glanced at His Highness, and then smiled apologetically at Matthew without saying a word. And His Royal Highness the Baron frowned covertly, looking a little unhappy, but quickly hid his emotions, nodded with a smile: "General Matthew, don't worry, the weapon is absolutely fine." ”

Matthew faced His Highness, the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he showed a reluctant smile, and said in a low voice: "Since His Highness is so sure, then I won't ask for anything and concentrate on going back to prepare for battle." However, if possible, I would like to try it out once the sample is made. I have to understand the performance of the weapon before I can arrange the tactics according to the characteristics of the new weapon, otherwise the new weapon will be a burden, so ......"

Ostensibly asking His Highness, but in the end, his gaze couldn't help but drift to Babu and Monica. Babu still didn't answer directly, but nodded to His Highness imperceptibly, and His Royal Highness immediately understood the spirit, took a few steps forward to hold Matthew's hand, and said with a laugh: "General Matthew's dedication to military affairs is really admirable. The general's request is reasonable, as long as the sample of the weapon is made, I will definitely notify the general to try it out as soon as possible. Or...... The sample should be able to come out today, if the general doesn't mind, why don't you come and sit with me, and I will accompany the general and wait for the sample to come out? ”

"No need, don't bother Your Highness." Matthew took a half step back, re-distanced himself from His Highness the Baron, and shook his head with a formulaic smile, "Then I'll wait in the camp for the good news from His Highness." ”

While saying this, Matthew turned his head and left, not staying longer for a moment, leaving His Royal Highness the Baron standing in place with his hands raised in embarrassment, his face cloudy.

"Your Highness, this General Matthew ......," asked Babu as he gazed at Matthew's back.

"He is His Majesty's most loyal subordinate and His Majesty's most trusted person." The baron pursed his lips with a cold look in his eyes, and said with a cold smile after a moment, "It doesn't matter, this kind of person is the best to deal with, as long as His Majesty nods and approves of the candidate, he will never object, hmph, today's account, in the future, there will be time to calculate it slowly, but Your Excellency Babu, it is indeed no problem." ”

"Actually, it's not enough to just have that oil." Babu sighed, seeing that His Highness had already shown an anxious look, and no longer hung his appetite, he continued, "I still need some things in the hands of the Second and Third Highnesses, and it would be better if I could have their people to help." ”

Hearing Babu mention his two sisters, the muscles on the baron's face twitched, and he reluctantly stopped the comment he was about to make.

"Hehehe, Your Highness doesn't have to feel embarrassed, I have already negotiated with those two Highnesses, they promised to provide those materials, and they don't know what we do with those materials, so Your Highness doesn't have to worry about the threat from them, they can't pose a threat at all." Babu explained with a smile, "But your Highness, you see, with your understanding of Your Majesty, in this situation, ah, and his current physical situation, Your Highness thinks that with this merit, will Your Majesty completely see who is the best candidate to lead Donggu City to the next glory?" ”

"It's hard to say, but I think ...... Hehe. The baron smiled vaguely, patted Babu on the shoulder, and said, "Anyway, it's troublesome for Your Excellency Babu over there, coordinate with them as soon as possible to make the weapon, and I'll wait for your good news." ”

"Of course, it's my honor, but Your Highness the Baron, this may not be a good opportunity." "It's rare to have a project that requires cooperation to complete, and even if you can't take this opportunity to restore relations, at least it won't be endless." After all, in the future, when Your Highness leads the city to glory, you must always have a few trustworthy people around you to help, otherwise ......"

"Hehehe." His Royal Highness's cold laughter interrupted Babu's attempt, "I understand what Your Excellency Babu means, after all, both of them are my own sisters, how can I talk about anything without dying, when it comes to the day you say, I will educate and educate two dear sisters at most, don't worry, I won't really kill them, I promise you." ”

Monica opened her mouth, as if she wanted to refute something, but in the end she sighed secretly and said nothing, while Babu nodded as if she believed it, and said with a smile: "I really admire that His Royal Highness the Baron can have this kind of cultivation." With His Highness's promise, I am relieved. In a while, Your Highness will send those oil to the temple, and you can rest assured that the other two Highnesses can also help, and I think that His Majesty the City Lord will not care about such a trivial matter as the location of the construction, everyone can rest assured. ”

"Alright, just do as you wish, Karl, Karl." The baron suddenly raised his voice, and called Karl, who was standing beside a group of high-ranking officials, and after the baron had a few words in his ear, he rolled his eyes, and then nodded vigorously with joy, and ran out in a hurry, and then the baron explained to Babu, "I asked him to choose a few young and strong laborers, and he led the team to the temple, not only to bring the oil over, but also to you to direct the whole process, and the rough work behind, just leave it to them to do as much as possible." ”

"Hahaha, if His Royal Highness Lao bothered, then I won't be polite to Chief Karl, and I will write the recipe to Chief Karl in a while, and then I will have to bother him with hard work." While talking, he saw that the high-ranking officials in the hall on the second floor, led by a few people led by them, were hurrying towards this side, and Babu whispered in a very interesting voice, "It seems that all the pillars of Donggu City still have doubts about His Highness's plan." Then it will not prevent Your Highness from showing them your profound knowledge of weapons and tactics, and we will go to the temple and wait for Chief Karl, who will start work as soon as he comes, and will never make a mistake. ”

As he had spoken, the Báb smiled at the officials whom he had met, and went around them, and went down the stairs from the other side, and quietly walked out of the castle, and as soon as he went out, he heard a staccato sob.

The maid who was dragged out just now because of breaking the plate has been put into a cage at this moment, hanging in a small empty space inside the castle, the woman in the cage has been crying and begging for mercy until her voice is hoarse, but she has no effect, occasionally a waiter passes by, will cast a frightened look, as fast as possible to the side, do not dare to stop for a moment.

Babu and Monica walked by with Anna by the hand, looking at each other from a distance through the cage, the maid no longer had the strength to shout, leaning weakly in the cage, her eyes were no longer figureless, and she looked at the three people below in despair.

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Looking up for a few seconds, Monica still couldn't hold back, and comforted in a low voice, "Hold on a little longer, you can live, but you will have to suffer a few days of sin." You can not believe me, but it doesn't hurt to hope for a few more days, take care of yourself, maybe a new life is not far away. ”

Although the words were said to the maid, Monica's eyes looked at Babu, and Babu naturally understood what Monica wanted to ask, and slowly nodded: "Yes, maybe a new life is not far away." ”

With that, he ignored the maid who grabbed the iron pillar of the cage with both hands again, and left the castle with ease, leaving behind the castle where the officials were gathered.

"It seems that you already have confidence in your heart." After leaving the castle area, there were no other pedestrians around, so Monica leaned next to Barbu and whispered, "What happened just now is as you expected?" ”

"Yes, most of them fit perfectly." "Although I don't know what Wesley's purpose was, it's likely that he knew from the beginning what the consequences of his orders were, and it can't be ruled out that he deliberately sent the soldiers out in batches to die, and the purpose was really just to feed the thing he had caught up with at some unknown point?" So that you can please that thing? I'm skeptical. ”

"Little Babu, since I entered this East Valley City, I have always had a question in my heart." Monica's expression became serious, "You've been trying to maneuver between this family for the past few days, really...... Won't it go wrong? Maybe you're outside of Thor, and you've had some strange and unexplained experiences that give you some special experience, but can you really grasp their thoughts and intentions? These people are actually not very normal, especially the baron and the city lord, they are even more moody, I don't know when they will suddenly get angry and hurt people, want to deal with such people, and even induce them to look at our purpose, it's not so easy, I'm a little worried that something will happen. ”

"Heh, so you've been worrying about this for the past two days." Babu patted Monica's hand holding her arm and whispered, "Do you know what kind of fish are the easiest to catch?" ”

"Huh?" Monica subconsciously replied, "Hungry fish? ”

"That's right, the hungrier the fish, the easier it is to take the bait, or, to put it more formally, the more appetite-eaten the fish, the easier it is to take the bait." Babu unconsciously smiled slyly, "Then do you know who is the hardest to take the bait?" ”

"Huh?" Monica naturally followed the question just now, "People who don't have desires are the most difficult?" ”

"No, only people who are completely irrational are the least likely to be baited, because they have no desires or hopes at all." Báb explained, "Others, as long as they are living creatures, must have desires, there are no people without desires, even madmen and fools, they also have basic appetites, and having desires means that there is a breakthrough that can be exploited, and what we have to do is to find this breakthrough, and then destroy his prudence and defense in the right way, and finally achieve some of the results we want according to our ideas." ”

Monica nodded thoughtfully.

"Therefore, whether it is good or not, it is easy to control, and it has nothing to do with whether they are crazy or stupid, unless they are really crazy enough to even have the most basic reason of hunger, hunger, cold and heat, otherwise the more mentally abnormal, the easier it is to take the bait." Babu pointed to the castle behind him, "They are paranoid at best, far from true madness, and paranoid people like them are too common among the big men in high power to be deceived as easily, compared to these two, these two are not worth mentioning." Well? Why are you staring at me like that? ”

"No, nothing." Monica smiled softly and shook her head, "It seems that you are getting closer and closer to finding the answer." ”

Babu was stunned for a moment, then realized what the answer Monica was referring to, and scratched her head with a wry smile: "Maybe, I'm not sure either." Not only do I know this knowledge, but I apply it as skillfully as instinct, and I can sometimes vaguely recall what results I have obtained when I applied it before, but if I were asked to remember why I knew it, I still can't remember anything. ”

"It's okay, take your time, since it's getting closer and closer, one day we will find the answer, before that, let the reputation of our Monica and the Babu Chamber of Commerce spread throughout the fringe towns, and let the trade officials of each town tremble when they hear our name, and dare not raise their heads."

"Tsk, this is not the level of the Chamber of Commerce that you described." Babu sighed and said with a headache, "As for shivering, it's hard to say whether other trade officials will tremble, but at least the trade officers in Donggu City have begun to tremble, right, Second Highness." ”

The two walked and talked along the way, and within a few minutes, they had already arrived outside the temple, under the giant sculpture in the temple square, the second highness Sophie, dressed in purple, was leaning on the base of the statue with a thin cigarette stick in her mouth, and her posture was skillful and smooth as she had done countless times before. Seeing Babu and Monica getting closer and closer, and hearing Monica's amazing declaration, His Royal Highness didn't tremble, but smiled and threw a wink: "Yes, I'm afraid to die, or I bribe you with my own bribe, will you let me go?" ”

"Give me a little restraint." Monica glared at her and said angrily, "What's going on?" Compared to just now, I feel like you're in a much better mood. And how to stand stupidly outside, why not go in? ”

"I had a fight with the third child just now, so I'm in a good mood." Sophie said casually, "That little brute screamed when he lost the quarrel, and clamored to strip me naked and hang me at the city gate for three days." These are nothing, the point is that every few minutes she asks when she can start making the wine you said, it's too annoying, I'll hide out, and by the way, see if you can come back. ”

"Cocktail, that's a good thing." Babu shrugged, "Let's go, you can prepare now, and when Karl delivers the oil, we will start work, if nothing happens, tomorrow, at most the day after tomorrow, everything will be over." ”

"The day after tomorrow?" Sophie's eyes are complicated, and she doesn't know whether she is happy or sad.

"Well, it's all coming to an end."
