The Doge's Palace of Crete.

With Liana's help, Xavier was received by the Governor.

His full name was Louis Loudwigde Elore, knight and marquis of the Empire.

As a governor, unlike the powerless shame of his previous life, he wielded great power, and he controlled the entire city of Crete.

In the case of officials, for example, all high-ranking officials are appointed and dismissed with the approval of the Governor, who can unconditionally remove any rank if the Governor is not satisfied.

In addition, the governor has great veto power over the plans proposed by his subordinates, which belongs to the level of the five hooligans of the United Nations, as long as the governor vetoes it, your plan must be stopped immediately, and you cannot continue, even if you are only a little bit done.

In other words, the will of the governor was the will of the city of Crete, and in the administrative aspect no one could disobey the orders of the governor - except for the garrisons that were not under the control of the governor, but that was another matter.

With trepidation in his mind, Xavier walked through the Doge's door.

At this moment, he will undoubtedly be a little trembling, like stepping on thin ice, for fear that if he is not careful, he will fall into the cold abyss and never be able to escape.

In fact, he didn't know the specific power of the governor, but he knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was a marquis, and the title of marquis was enough to make people feel intimidated.

You know, even a seventh-level fire magician like Count Josephine who can smash the square has only obtained the title of earl, but the person in front of him is a marquis and a knight, and his combat power may have to break the ceiling, right?

Even if it wasn't broken, it would be fine for Xavier to beat a hundred of them, and he thought to himself, and sat down obediently opposite him at the Governor's command, and at the same time saluted the etiquette of the high-ranking one.

"Don't be too afraid. The Governor, who was sitting in front of Xavier, spoke, in a pure Zomintos accent, "I won't eat you." ”

He seemed to sense Xavier's nervousness, and showed friendly kindness.

But in Xavier's mind, such words are often just polite when people in high positions say such things, for example, the governor can say to all the people, "We are all brothers", but if anyone really believes it, then he is probably a little bit of a problem with his IQ.

Because this is the same as a woman who loves money and says to everyone, "I'm not interested in money", if you are not interested in money, you should donate all your money?

In the midst of the turmoil of thoughts, Xavier hurriedly smiled and responded to the governor in front of him, and then slowly felt helpless.

He wanted to say his intentions directly after exchanging pleasantries, but the governor in front of him suddenly got into a routine with him, which made him undoubtedly a little puzzled, but he had to respond.

After all, he can't say a word, I don't want to hear you say this, just get to the point, right?

If he did, he would probably be able to see his body in the garbage heap tomorrow.

What's fresh is just a few more sword marks.

However, judging from these questions alone, the man in front of him really didn't look like a governor, but an ordinary homesick middle-aged man.

Because he asks the most ordinary questions.

For example, how is the capital area now, is that square still there, and Xavier also responded one by one.

Perhaps, the governor in front of him is just missing his hometown.

When he heard that the central square had been blown up by Count Josephine, the smile on his face was undisguised, and he even showed a smug expression and proudly showed off to Xavier

"I've blown up there too!"

This suddenly added two black lines to Xavier's eyebrows, and was it a great thing to blow up the square?

And when Xavier said the current pattern of the Swordsman Association, the governor would show the vicissitudes of life, and say the way the association used to be, deploring how those stupid guys began to change their ways.

Faced with such a situation, Xavier will respond with modal words such as 'um' and 'oh', and occasionally become a repeater, such as "You mean xxx?", xxx is to rearrange his meaning, and agree with his point of view many times, and the governor in front of him will happily continue to say.

For example, at this time, he said to Xavier, "Xavier, Xavier, you don't know, the bridge between the Magic Guild and the Swordsman Guild was built by me. ”

Hearing this, Xavier suddenly remembered a man whose ashes he had buried with his own hands, Sika Matheson, and when Xavier told him about the Swordsman Guild, the middle-aged and elderly man said the same to him, saying that he had witnessed the birth of the bridge.

So, this bridge actually has a lot of significance? makes you all so fond of it? Xavier thought to himself, still responding perfunctorily.

Finally, after two hours, the Governor, as if realizing that he had said too much of his memories, smiled embarrassedly at Xavier, "I'm sorry to let you talk to an old man who talks to you, you must be bored." ”

"No, no, no. Xavier waved his hand repeatedly, and although what the governor in front of him said was true, he certainly did not dare to admit it, "It is my honor to communicate with a person of high position like you." ”

"That's good!" the Governor's eyes suddenly lit up, "I'm afraid you'll be bored, so let's continue talking, listen to me first, thirty years ago, the West Side of the Inner City was still like that"

He spoke again about his memories, which also made Xavier confused.

Master, I'm just saying a polite word, are you really serious?

How could he have imagined that a governor with so much power should be a man who lacked the object of his conversation?

Damn, he should have said the right thing just now!

However, it was useless to regret at this time, Xavier could only quickly smile and continue his perfunctory answer.

~~~~~~

Many hours later.

Xavier walked out of the Governor's Mansion with an overworked look on his face.

He was very tired at the moment, very tired, not only mentally tired, but also tired, referring to his lips, which were about to respond to dehydration.

And on the side, Liana, seeing Xavier in this state, couldn't help but smile lightly, she knew best how hungry her father was, after all, he hadn't seen an imperial person who had been to the capital for almost five years, and now that Xavier was caught, how could he let it go?

But at the very least, Xavier had achieved his original purpose, and at the end of the conversation, the Governor in front of him seemed to have finally remembered Xavier's request for coming here, and answered Xavier.
