"By the way, Aophee, who is this old gentleman?"

"He?" Ofee squinted at Speaker Skasa, who just smiled and looked at him with a comprehensible expression, "a very shrewd businessman...... Well, very savvy. ”

Merchants?Vania turned her gaze to the other party in confusion, as if she wanted to see a three-headed and six-armed person from the body of Speaker Skasa-how could Offie be involved with a merchant?

"This guy is not an ordinary businessman, but he is a bold businessman...... I'm afraid that with this person's ability, it may not be difficult to change the dynasty, right?"

Seeing that Aoye had a great appearance of exposing his old background, Speaker Skasa hurriedly rushed ahead of Aofei and said: "It's still too much to change the dynasty, but I think it's still okay to buy and sell the heads of the powerful." ”

“......”

Fanya subconsciously took two steps back and looked at the kind-faced old man in a daze.

Aoife twitched out of the corner of his eye—so the old fox was the threshold elf, and he was telling the truth, but he was able to steer Fanya's thoughts in another direction. Referring first to the merchant and then to being able to control the life and death of others, it was natural for Fania to assume that the role of Speaker Skasa was now that of someone who worked in the Assassin business.

"You're thinking too much, this guy is doing things much more elegant than killers and stuff...... Of course, it's a lot dirtier. ”

Offie tugged at Fanya and pulled her back to herself. She didn't really want Fanya to be too close to the old man. That circle was too deep for Fanya to touch.

"You said you don't care about me, huh?"

Ofie winked at Fanya, and Fanya reluctantly gave up her plan to continue her research. She understands that too. After all, Aoye is not one of those children in her class, and she doesn't need to worry about anything, that is something that Aoife can decide for herself.

"Okay, okay, don't look at me like this, I'm going to 'communicate' something with him, Fanya, you can go and eat something first, right?"

"There's something I can't hear...... "Vanya was obviously a little dissatisfied with Aoife's attitude, but she only muttered slightly. The body still left very honestly.

Seeing Fania walk away, Aoye was also relieved, something was wrong. In front of her, it is indeed a little difficult to speak.

"What's going on with your outfit now?"

Aoife looked at Speaker Skasa from top to bottom, and couldn't see any resemblance in appearance between the old man in front of him and the man in the highest position in the empire. If you insist on a relationship. There is only one thing in common: gray hair.

It's obvious. What methods did he use to change his appearance? If it weren't for the fact that he had leaked a little bit of breath before, Aoife wouldn't even have been able to confirm his identity.

"Do you think that the Imperial Speaker can enter and leave such a place in a grand manner? even if they don't ask for it, they won't provide you with that kind of service ♀...... But when you tell others that you are here just to eat, do you think people will believe it? There will definitely be strange rumors such as old cows grazing and iron trees blooming!"

"It seems to be the same...... "If you think about it, it seems to be the case.

But Aoifie soon let the dissatisfaction come back to his heart: "But why did you choose to be here? Along the way, Fania and I encountered a lot of strange eyes, which was quite a mental loss to our two girls. You'll have to give an explanation!"

"I didn't do it. Speaker Skasa gave Aofoe a helpless look, "This is the famous gold cave in the imperial capital. There are countless powerful people who hang out here every day, and such a place, in addition to some well-known 'special services', also has some special uses-you must know that the so-called powerful people are never people who can settle down. ”

Aoife couldn't help but frown.

"Originally, it was just a place of entertainment for luxury consumption, but when the powerful and powerful frequented each other, they added an extra function to the place......"

"Do you mean a social place where people who don't usually get along, can communicate together?"

"That's right. It may be a bit arbitrary to say this, but many big people, the means of entertainment are unexpectedly similar...... And a person, especially people who do not need to work hard for basic life, enjoy the glory and wealth, has a great need for 'entertainment'. So here, it's easier to find some big names than anywhere else, and it's easier to communicate with them. No matter what, it is definitely easier to talk than to meet in a Fengyue place than in public. ”

"And because there's a big and small dinner here tonight, will there be quite a lot of 'big guys' here?" Aoife also understood a little, and after deducing this answer, he grinned very unhappily, "It's really laid-back, you people." ”

She is very disgusted with such a drunken and extravagant life.

"This is also a matter of no way, you need to know that people with lofty ideals are a minority after all, the vast majority of people, what they expect is nothing more than to make their lives better and better, and their efforts are basically inseparable from this center. So when they reach high enough to get the life they want, they are eager to 'enjoy' their results. Most of the people who are passionate about this place are like this. ”

"You seem to have missed those people who were born with a golden spoon, huh?"

Speaker Skasa snorted disdainfully: "If you have struggled to this point, you can still understand it if you indulge yourself, but that kind of innate desire to have a greater advantage over others, but you don't know how to use it but sit back and enjoy it, such a waste." I don't even have the desire to look at them—they're not on my radar. ”

After listening to Speaker Skasa's words, Aoife was silent for a moment.

"Not necessarily, even if it's a waste of precious time of youth. After all, they are still young, and if they are touched by anything, even if they turn back, it is not too late. ”

"Really?"

"Because people change. In this world, there is never a shortage of prodigal sons to turn back, the same. There are definitely not a few cases of heroes falling into demons. ”

What is Aoifie referring to? Speaker Skasa hesitated for a moment, and thought of some of Aophee's obsessions. Then it became clear.

How to say it, there are some things that outsiders really don't have a say in. To Aophe, who suddenly became a little gloomy, Speaker Skasa. It can only be regarded as not seeing. Looking around to avoid the embarrassment.

Fortunately, it wasn't too long.

"Speaking of which, what is your intention in asking me to come here on purpose, and why does the cooperation between us have anything to do with this place?" Again, Aoife expressed his dissatisfaction with the location chosen by Speaker Skassar, and it could be seen that this place of drunkenness and money was quite uncomfortable for Aophee, who grew up in the Holy See.

Speaker Skasa smiled. Didn't answer Aoife directly.

"Aowie, have you ever done anything to threaten someone? Just a threat. Shock, without further action. ”

"Nope. ”

Even if Aophe, as the head of the exorcist unit, still needs to fight frequently, but she has never done it to threaten others with a knife - because whenever a weapon needs to be used, it is impossible to be able to be good.

Looking at Aoife's attitude, Speaker Skasa probably guessed what she was thinking at this time, so he smiled and explained to her: "It's not just a knife on someone's neck that is considered a threat, force, power, and life safety are certainly the most common and widespread ways, but there is also a means called 'secret'. ”

"Secret?"

"Yes, some of the unseepable, even unseemly...... Little secret. ”

The smile on Speaker Skasa's face now made it impossible for Aoife not to connect with some creature called a fox - a thief, laughing too much!

"I mean, are you going to write down all the people you're hanging out here and tell their wives and families?

"Of course it's not such a child's play, but it's just a very good opportunity for you to meet these 'big guys' scattered in various corners in the past...... As for what to do, give. ”

Speaker Skasa took a small notebook out of his bosom and slipped it into Auphe's arms.

"Some innocuous little secrets, but very fatal for some people~"

Innocuous means that these "secrets" do not endanger the interests of the Empire, and it is almost impossible to obtain some confidential information from them, as far as the death of some people...... That's better to understand.

Aofei only flipped through the two pages slightly, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat - if the existence of this book was known by those "big people", it must be impossible to think about it, and it would not be safe to find a way to get it, right? Although the things recorded on it will not make them fall to death, it is still possible to ruin the reputation of some people. For those people, it almost means that their prosperity and wealth have come to an end, and they are used to this kind of life, whether they can accept that kind of life is really an interesting thing to think about.

"This ......"

Aoye couldn't help but feel a little creepy—those dignitaries who were still in pleasure probably wouldn't have thought that the councillor who had treated them with kindness and kindness in the past had already secretly compiled a set of materials that would be enough to ruin them. One day, Speaker Skazar had the idea that it would not even take much effort to rely on the most formal legal means to put people to death.

Now that he had handed over the material to himself, Aoife didn't understand for a moment what the other party meant.

"Let's put it away for now. Speaker Skasa asked Offie to slip the little notebook into his bosom and whispered to her, "If I say this is my sincerity, do you believe it?"

Sincerity!?

Aoife had some suspicions that something was wrong with his ears, as the Speaker of the Empire. He actually handed over all the "key points" of so many wealthy people to an outsider like himself? Even if there was a verbal cooperation agreement between them, such "sincerity" ...... Aoye was a little afraid to take over.

Because she understands it too. Speaker Skasa gave this book to himself for his own purposes.

This book is in the hands of Speaker Skasa, which is actually quite useless - his identity determines that he must not reveal any information about his possession of this secret document, otherwise, it will set off a great panic. No one would hope that a person in power who holds the power of life and death of everyone will also have the secret of everyone.

But if it's in someone else's hands, it doesn't matter.

They will be jealous. They will be afraid, they will try to take it, when the other side is too strong to shake. will choose to submit. They will do everything they can to keep those "secrets" out to the public - for this reason, if the other party "asks" them to do something, they will have to grit their teeth without pay.

"I want to deal with those old fellows of the Holy See. Your current reserves are still not enough. There are also too few ways out. ”

Speaker Skasa pointed out Aophee's current shortcomings - she herself is just rootless water, although with some efforts, it is not difficult to control the exorcist troops, but with her character, I am afraid that she will not want to involve this army, right? Besides, even if this force is co-opted, it is only a drop in the bucket.

The treatment and condition of the exorcist troops in the Holy See, Speaker Skasa had also heard of it. This is also the reason why Aoife continues to lose his favor with the Holy See.

Aoife doesn't seem like the kind of person who would rebel against the Holy See, but she's also not the kind who would let others oppress her. The people who still wanted to drive her comrades to death and were indifferent - just those who happened to have a say in the upper echelons of the Holy See now. But even so, she will not be stabbing against her compatriots in the Holy See.

Therefore, it is impossible to expect Aoife to resist by force.

"Relying on your personal strength, it is impossible to deal with such a behemoth, and besides, you just have the will to fight and not kill, compared to the Holy See, which has always been indifferent to human life, you are born to suffer a lot. So, if you don't do it to others, I'm afraid it's very difficult to succeed. ”

What the consequences of failure would be, Speaker Skasa did not say, and he believed that Aoife himself could understand.

"This is really, can't refuse the 'sincerity'......

Aoife knew very well that Speaker Skasa gave him this, which was tantamount to opening up the resources of the empire to Aophei. With a handle in the hands of a mysterious person, those prominent and powerful people in important positions will definitely spare no effort to meet their demands. And the content recorded in this small book is so wide and wide that it is extremely amazing.

"Why do you want to give this to me? Although it is a cooperation, it is ...... this."

"It's a win-win...... Only when you have a foothold there, can I get more benefits—I don't want to oppress the Holy See, and I am not in a hurry to be in a moment's power. There is no conflict between the interests of the two of us, so I don't mind making it easier for you. ”

"But, this includes almost half of the high-ranking people in the empire, eh?

This is what makes Aoiffe puzzled-if this information is misused, or even disclosed and exposed, the turmoil caused will definitely cause a major earthquake at the top of the entire empire! In this way, wouldn't the empire be very dangerous, and wouldn't the surrounding countries be ready to move, waiting for an opportunity?

Speaker Skasa only smiled contemptuously at Aoife's doubts—not to mock Aoife, but to those who had been put in a small notebook.

"Don't worry, those people are not the pillars of the empire, and even if they are lost, I will not be sorry. I just don't have that intention and I don't have that need now, so I didn't do it. If you really want to say it, in fact, the operation of the empire does not need so many people at all...... And none of the talents I value and need for the empire are written on it~"

The implication - even if there were some little secrets, he didn't write them down.

Aoife suddenly understood.

This small book, which records not the "secrets" of those powerful people investigated by Speaker Skaza, but the chips he can use to give up the trade. And some people can't use it for these purposes.

From the very beginning, Speaker Skasa had put these people in a special area. Their fate had long been firmly in the hands of Speaker Skasa, and fortunately, he was not a brutal man.

"Make good use of it, anyway, this thing doesn't even have the effect of deterring them in my hands, so it's better for you to use it, and you can more or less beat these guys who are more and more comfortable and wasteful the more they live...... Don't be polite to me anyway. ”

Aofei is really a little confused, what to say.

Speaker Skasa said it very lightly, but this was just his personal opinion, for Aophe, who at best controlled a force that was struggling with no human rights, he suddenly grasped the lifeblood of many high-ranking officials of the empire, and this difference even made her suspect that she was dreaming.

There's pie in the sky, right?

How can there be such a good thing? There can't be any conspiracy, right?

"It's a hot hand, but I have to accept it......"

"Conspiracy is used appropriately, this kind of thing is very dangerous, the more you think about it, the more flaws you have, and the more you can't withstand the destruction of 'accidents'...... If you want to fight against the Holy See and fight for the rights and interests of your army, you must learn to master the use of 'Yang Scheme' - because the other side has to take over, so it will rarely have flaws. ”

"The key is that you have to be proficient in using the 'potential', or ...... Rally. (To be continued......)
