Rhodia led Beller out of the cramped room. The latter's mind was in a state of confusion at this time, so that he was completely in a state of distraction, and could only follow Rhodia step by step.

When he came back to his senses, he found himself walking down the street, to be specific: wearing the pajamas—the texture of the pajamas was not bad, but walking down the street in broad daylight was a bit of a turning back—holding Rhodia's hand in his hand, walking in the middle of the street as if no one was around.

"Where are we going?"

"Temporary Royal Palace, the residence of the former Regent. Rhodia replied.

"Oh, I thought ...... Didn't you say that Prime Minister Erynne would have a headache for a while?"

"I've had a headache long enough. If our Prime Minister Irynne hadn't had a cerebral hemorrhage by now, it was the will of the gods, and what could a mortal like me do?" she suddenly smiled ambiguously at Bayor. "I thought Ashrufat was crazy, but I didn't think there was anything more exaggerated than him. ”

Bayral immediately realized that there was something implied by Rhodia's words.

"May I ask why you give your private money to the state for military expenses?" asked Rhodia in a whisper. "I remember the church trying to convince ...... It also gives quite a lot of benefits. ”

"You may not know how bad our finances are......" Bayral sighed under his breath. "Speaking of which, our country went all out in the battle of Kalean before, and the losses were too heavy. ”

"Oh, in that case, why don't you just hand over the income of your territory directly to the treasury every year?"

"Ha, ma'am, you must know that kind of behavior is extremely stupid. Although I am willing to share the sorrow of the country, I cannot buy hatred with money. ”

"Oh, I really don't understand. Rhodia replied half-truthfully. "You mean someone is going to blush?"

"It's not red-eyed, it's a very simple truth. Beller replied patiently. He had already set aside a part of his mind to observe his surroundings. "The first time I did it, it was definitely grateful. But in a few years, this gratitude will disappear and everyone will take it for granted that I have to hand over my annual income to the national treasury. If I stop doing this one day, His Majesty will probably be furious......" Berlor shrugged, "according to a certain philosopher, all human beings are weak, ungrateful, and unjust...... There is no one human being who can break away from this nature. I admit that this is a bit harsh, but it is not unreasonable. ”

"Huh. Rhodia said with a smile. Ostensibly she was holding Baylor's arm, but in fact she was carrying Baylor forward. It's no wonder that Beller is not at all familiar with the roads of Eagle City, so he can only follow the direction of Rhodia.

And he also noticed that Rhodia's identity is by no means as simple as "shopkeeper". For he noticed that there were five or six strong-looking men in the crowd following them. These people all kept a rather clever distance from him, and if it was a careless person, it might have been mistaken for just an accident.

Although Bayrell was an out-and-out aristocrat, he had also heard of the situation in the underground world of the big city. And the situation in these Dark World Realms should be similar to the entire World Realm, and Eagle Falcon City will not be an exception.

Rhodia was able to make such a bold and bold move, which shows that she should not be the mistress of the boss. But she is a woman after all...... And it's a woman who doesn't have much combat power...... And the situation in this regard...... In these subterranean realms, chastity and integrity are far less important than money, and all human morals may not be universal.

For a big business, let the mistress come out to accompany other men...... This is impossible for ordinary merchants, nobles, and even commoners, but it is not easy to say for gang leaders.

"Lady Rhodia, your subordinates are very good. Beller probed. "Last night, they found out that my situation was not good, right?"

"Huh. It's been said everywhere that you're a great wise man, but you don't care about your own safety at all. Rhodia did not refute, which acquiesced to Beller's previous speculation. "You should feel lucky. ”

"Not only lucky, but honored. Bayral replied. Wait, the Queen's temporary governess...... A gang leader in the Underworld...... A bustling street that could become a cornucopia of gangsters...... A thriving hotel...... Spy crews who continue to disappear in Eagle City...... On the surface, all these things seemed completely unconnected, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Beller's mind, and a thought ran through all these clues at once, converging an answer.

"Madam Rodia, may I ask a little question?" asked Béral with a smile. "You can get this status now, and our little queen must have contributed a lot. Oh, maybe she didn't contribute, but you must have borrowed a lot. ”

"Ha Luha, so to speak. Rhodia glanced at Beller. "Lord Beller seems to want to know what he is saying. ”

"Ah, unfortunately, I don't have the money to buy the news I need. Bayral said deliberately.

"Ah, no, I noticed that I had just gone wrong. Rhodia said. "Actually, it doesn't matter if you have money or not. ”

"Would you like to send me a message for free?"

"As long as your income is real, that's fine. Yes, that's right, with your credit, you can borrow money! Any chamber of commerce will be happy to lend it to you. She grabbed Baylor's arm and walked in the other direction.

To her surprise, Béral didn't resist much, and let her drag her to the other side.

"Speaking of which, our spies have disappeared a lot in Eagle Falcon City......

"Hehe, such a big Eagle Falcon City, such a big Lunqing River, how many people didn't drown one day?" "There are unlucky people who walk by the river and unfortunately lose their footing, even though the water is not good, and this kind of fool is not enough to die. Then again, it would be strange if no one drowned one day. ”

"So, Ms. Rhodia's turf ...... More than that?"

"This is the 'Flower Street', I used to be only here, but now I can walk around the whole city casually......"

No wonder, if the Underground World Realm and the Terrestrial World Realm colluded...... Even trained agents can't hide their whereabouts completely. Because theoretically, all the courts that focus on the state and the underground world where everything is based on interests...... It is almost impossible for the two to be combined.

Béral turned his head to look at the one on his side. The man was muscular, bald, tattooed, wearing a sleeveless leather armor and carrying a scary-looking machete at his waist. And his hand was always on the handle of the machete. In a word, this person exudes the smell of "I'm dangerous, don't come near me" all over his body, and passers-by instinctively avoid him.

This is also a corroborative evidence. Theoretically, no city's security — and this is the official — would allow such a blatantly armed person to walk in broad daylight. In a large city, there is usually an area for such people, but this area is clearly not.

Bayral was already acutely aware of something. In fact, the political power map of the various parties in Eagle Falcon City that he had conceived before had already changed imperceptibly at this moment.

"Ashrufat...... Have a conflict with Elynne?"

"It's inevitable. The old man was very conservative, and as long as he was not from a noble background, he would be hostile to him. Rhodia replied casually. "Didn't you meet him yesterday, can't you see it at all?"

"I thought he was posturing. Bayrell said.

"What does he need to pretend?" Rhodia asked rhetorically. "Those guys...... His mind is full of wanting to restore Eagle Falcon City to its original state...... Restore the way it was when the first king was there. If it weren't for the fact that they really didn't have a suitable candidate now, it was estimated that it would be difficult for Ashrufat to go out to resist the barbarians this time. ”

Béral remembered the details revealed in Rhodia's words. Face to face with Rhodia and he may not be an opponent. But if you look for the information that is inadvertently revealed from the other party's words, he is a real master.

"However, this time Allyn mishandled it and put me in such a big danger, I guess he will feel shameless for a while and die for a while. Bayrell said.

"That's right, so you see, cultists do something good by chance. ”

"You think it's a good thing I'm killed?"

"Of course not, I'm just happy to see every setback Erynn has suffered. Then again, Lord Beller, you must know that if you die in Eagle City, then Erynn will have to resign to apologize. Although I think even so, Tiberius ...... Nor will it be accepted. ”

"If I die, even if there is no war between the two countries, the affairs of the coalition will collapse. Beller replied on a matter-of-fact basis. This means that even in the best of circumstances, the war between Gruni and the Barbarians / will lose tens of thousands of Allied help. So you shouldn't think so, in a war, 20,000 people may decide the victory or defeat. ”

"Ha Luha, I don't care about that. Even if the war is defeated, the church will mobilize the allied forces of various countries. ”

"Then I'm really sorry, dear Ms. Rhodia, the Church is not as strong as you think. Bayral said with a smile.

"Oh, I always thought the church was omnipotent. At the very least, they also have the Holy Knights. ”

"There are no Holy Knights anymore. Bayral sighed softly. Speaking of this, he always can't help but sigh. "Since the Greenskin...... Since the last large-scale invasion and eventual destruction of Orn, no new Holy Knights have been created. So there is no Holy Knights. Speaking of which, I have a vague feeling. Did the Holy Knights appear specifically to deal with vampires? Because before the Battle of Callean, the Holy Knights appeared in a steady stream. However, as soon as the Battle of Kalean ended and the vampire clan perished, this situation disappeared completely. And now, I can't even find a few holy knights who hold up the façade. ”

"The will of the gods is unfathomable. "Rhodia doesn't have any experience with Bayor, so she doesn't care about it at all.

As they spoke, they had arrived at the office of a chamber of commerce—not a branch of Eagle Falcon, but an office located on the edge of Flower Street. A clerk came out to greet her, and Rhodia was quick to make her request.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bayral can't do that. "This clerk knows Rothea—how could he not know him," because Monsieur Beller is already in debt, and we cannot lend him money. I'm sorry, but this is our Chamber of Commerce policy. ”

"Heavily in debt?" Rothea turned to look at Beller beside her.

"Look," Beller said, seemingly helplessly. "This responsibility is not on me. You don't seem to have asked about it. In order to raise funds, I not only took out all my possessions, but also borrowed a large amount of money by the way. ”

Rhodia smiled, her smile so sweet that she made Béral hesitate for a moment.

Then in the next moment, taking advantage of the other party's hesitation, Rhodia kicked between the man's legs.
