Section 32 Actions

"It's unfair to say that, but unfortunately, that's the way it is. There is a very big difference between men and women in themselves. This is determined by each other's nature and abilities. Waiting is the prerogative of women, and men should take the initiative. There are indeed some additional examples in this world, and there are indeed active women. But this kind of thing, to use a familiar analogy, is the relationship between the shield and the sword. The role of the shield is to protect the body, and the role of the sword is to attack the enemy. Although there are occasional examples of swords parrying blocks and shields striking enemies, those are only accidental accidents. Do you know what I mean?" looked at Ashrufat's expression, and Aunt Mary added. "You should take the initiative...... And if I'm not mistaken, you'll have a chance soon. I hope to come back by the time things are completely different from what they are now. ”

Aunt Mary did what she said. As soon as Ashrufat got out of the car, her carriage started and drove all the way out of Ace's house and onto the road. Soon, the others watched as their aunt's carriage whipped away and disappeared at the end of the road.

As mentioned earlier, Aunt Mary's carriage was an elaborate carriage with four wheels and two horses. On the one hand, this kind of carriage is more comfortable than ordinary two-wheeled carriages, and on the other hand, it is also to show one's status and wealth (or show off one's status and wealth). So, as Aunt Mary's carriage rounded the three-way junction in front of her, a rider on a tall snow-blue horse immediately turned his attention to the carriage.

The rider was wearing a hat, so he covered most of his face. In this case, even the observant who was in the driver's seat did not notice him. Isn't it normal to meet other travelers on the road? As long as this person doesn't catch up, or does not do anything suspicious, then he will not be noticed.

When the carriage was gone, the rider slowly took off his hat, revealing Lyle's face.

He spat at the distant carriage, then immediately put his hat back on and rode away from the other side of the road.

This road leads to Brasian. So it wasn't long before Lyle arrived at the door of a building on the outskirts of the city. This house is not an ordinary private house, but an office building, which is the kind of commercial office building. However, it is clear that the builder did not have the intelligence to figure out the difference between the city and the suburbs, so the house has been empty and unused since it was built. Until recently, there were no signs of people in the building, but no one knows whether it was rented out or sold.

At this moment, two tall guards with "I'm not to mess with" written on their faces were guarding the door. If anyone is curious and wants to find out, then they will have a hard time getting past the two guards. The exception was Lyle, both guards knew Lyle, so the latter was quickly let in.

It didn't take much for Lyle to come to an office on the third floor of the house. The office door was closed, but some noises could be heard through the door, indicating that someone was inside.

Lyle knocked on the door.

"Is it Lyle, I guess you're almost back. A voice rang out in the room. I don't know if it's because the door of the room is not installed, but the sound inside can be clearly transmitted to the outside. "How's it going, is Countess Marianne gone?"

"That's true. I saw her carriage go away. Lyle tried to speak in a respectful tone. But if the people in the room could see his expression at the moment, they would know how angry he was when he said these words. In fact, it is also true, for a person like Lyle, who has no skills but thinks very highly of himself, it is really a great humiliation to be in charge of this task of finding out the news.

But now he can only bow his head for the time being, and has no other choice.

"To-morrow I will go to the house of the Countess Marianne to make sure. If she does go, we'll have to do it right away. It's the day after tomorrow. We've got everything in place anyway. ”

"This ...... I think it might be better to wait a few more days, and wait for the Countess to go away. ”

"There's no need for that. The Countess Marianne was not accompanied by a magician...... Even if something happens here, you can't be notified there...... No, it should be said that. The most opportune time is when the Countess Marianne is on the road. Because she was moving fast in a carriage, it was difficult for her to receive an urgent letter from the rear. On the other hand, if she had already arrived in the royal city, then there was a real possibility that she would receive an urgent letter. After all, there is still the possibility of magical communication. Of course, this is essentially just a prudent measure. Even if Countess Marianne was present, she might not be able to solve the situation I had arranged. ”

"But everywhere it is rumored that she has great powers......"

"Her failure to exert influence over this sheriff's transfer is in itself an indication of her limited energy...... Regardless of this, you go back first. I'll let you know when I need you. ”

The people in the room sent Lyle away in a tone of understatement. The latter could only answer and obediently walked down the stairs.

"Wait for me!" Lyle cursed in a voice that he could only hear. "Don't look at you as powerful now...... Someday...... I'm going to make you regret it!"

The rage in his heart caused him to whip his mount hard, and he galloped down the road at a whirlwind pace. Several riders appeared at the front of the road, but Lyle had no intention of stopping. He turned his horse's head a little sideways, intending to quickly pass the travelers.

"Lyle!" a rider suddenly screamed, causing Lyle to froze and rein in his horse at the last moment. He looked at the travelers, who were dressed from out of town.

"Lyle, it's you!" continued the leader of the men.

......

Ashrufat sat at the edge of the table. As in the past, the two sisters had already begun to eat before he was seated. Ever since he recovered, they had kept him at a deliberate distance. Although there are occasional times when they seem more cordial, most of the time, they choose to ignore his presence. At least don't take the initiative to talk to him.

Since that night when they watched the silver grass bloom together, the two sisters' attitudes have softened. Although I haven't taken the initiative to talk to him yet, I will at least glance at him from time to time.

Aunt Mary said that he should take the initiative, but he really didn't even have the slightest chance. But this situation also allowed him to further deduce his past self. Probably because of his work as a mercenary, he seems to be very inexperienced in pleasing and pleasing women. Especially the kind of women who have a certain level of hostility.

The women in his past should have been either prostitutes or sluts who could throw hugs at anyone.

He slowly turned his attention back to his plate. Although it had been quite some time since his body had healed (if not completely), he found that he still lacked appetite. He can smell the food, he can taste the umami of the food, but he doesn't want to eat it. It's as if his body doesn't need these foods. For a few days, he counted the amount of food he was eating, and found that he was dieting so exaggerated that he couldn't believe it.

But then again, even though he ate very little, there was nothing wrong with his body at all. In fact, many people know that even if people are hungry, they may not necessarily feel "hungry". But the absence of direct sensation does not mean that there is non-existence. Hunger makes people weak, dizzy, and drowsy—until they starve to death. Ashrufat didn't feel hungry or unwell, so he could only think that he was gifted and that it didn't matter if he ate very little.

Of course, after seeing the last incredible event, he now has a better ability to adapt to his puzzles, at least not too surprised.

"Miss. While Ashrufat was pondering his question, a servant hurried in from outside. "There were guests outside. ”

"Guest?" Xingke asked curiously. It's lunchtime, and unless it's agreed, it's impossible to visit at this time.

"That's right, he asked to see you. And," the servant hesitated, "he told you to go out to meet him." ”

The two sisters looked at each other, "What kind of person is it?"

He claimed to be a sheriff. The servant replied. The two sisters immediately remembered Aunt Mary's warning.

"Anyway, now that we've come to the door, we'll have to go out and see you. Xingke finally said.

The visitor at the door was a complete stranger to him. He wears a very common variegated fur coat, and his chest is open, clearly revealing the leather armor he wears underneath. His helmet hung from the saddle. Although there is nothing unusual about his physical appearance, this stranger who calls himself a sheriff has a very conspicuous military temperament. For he sat straight on horseback, and his back was in a straight line.

He did not dismount from the beginning, but sat on horseback and waited at the door for the two sisters to appear.

"Are you Katyusa and Para of House Griffin?" The stranger asked as he watched the two sisters walk out with Ashrufat, and spoke in a very unceremonious tone.

"Exactly. Pls are you ......"

"I'm Sheriff Farod,......," said the strange man.

"Wait, are you mistaken?! We know Sheriff Mr. Farod, and you are not alone with him. ”

"I'm sorry, I happen to have the same name as my ex. The man, also named Falode, replied. "It's just an accident. ”

Is it a coincidence? There are countless things that coincide in this world. In particular, there are some places where there are special naming conventions, such as giving the name of a father or grandfather to a child. Ashrufat's eyes were fixed on the other party, and judging by the calm look on the other side's face, it didn't look like a lie. Besides, there have been rumors that the sheriff is going to be transferred. Although it is true that this redeployment was carried out in accordance with normal procedures, there is a peculiarity in the timing. That is, the governor of the city of Brasian happened to go to the royal city to report on his work. In the absence of the Governor, customary duties are to be performed by the Magistrate.

In other words, for a short time, the sheriff was equal to the de facto ruler of the city. Of course, even if the Governor is here, he is a very important official in the city.

"So...... Lord Farod, why did you come to visit us?" replied Starcut. She is not stupid, in fact, just this posture of asking for a meeting but not getting off the horse clearly shows that the other party is not good.

"That's right. Faroud said with a solemn look. "I'm here for business. Ownership of this piece of your estate has been disputed. ”
