Special's home is a little shabby, of course, the so-called shabby means that with those nobles, if compared with ordinary commoners, Erte's life is already very good, at least the house he lives in is specially prepared by the empire for officials who manage the city, although the officials have to give up the house and other things after leaving their posts, but they will not charge any fees when they live here, and there are a few servants who do not have to pay their own salaries, saving a lot of expenses. 【Reading.com】

Walking through the slightly dilapidated high door, inside is a standard living room, tables and chairs and other household items have an outdated atmosphere, but they are spotlessly clean, how much salary can be earned is stipulated by the empire, and has nothing to do with Erte, and whether the living room is clean or not is related to him, to a certain extent, how the family is cleaned up faintly represents the spiritual outlook of people.

Up the stairs, in front of it is a long corridor, the corridor seems very dark, there are many candlesticks on both sides of the corridor, but unfortunately they are not lit, some candlesticks do not even have candles, just stand still in the dark scattering the cold light of metal.

Erte saw An Fei looking at the candlesticks on both sides, his expression was a little cramped, he hurriedly walked to the door of a room, and turned sideways: "My lord, the city lord of Aroben is here." ”

An Fei nodded, straightened his expression first, and then walked over slowly. Aroben is a person who has suffered the pain of the destruction of the country and his family, his family is lost, and only a lonely old man is left to live in the world, and what is even more cruel is that the soldiers of the Shining Sand Empire still waved the butcher knife in front of Aroben, and it is too difficult to communicate rationally with such an old man who is immersed in endless grief. But An Fei had to come again, first of all, as the future master, he wanted to express his condolences, and secondly, there were some things to ask for an opportunity to consult, he had heard more than one person say that Aroben was a very competent city lord, and Violet City was thriving under his rule, but a damn war ruined everything.

At least he has to understand some of the city's bases, learn from experience, and humbly listen to points and admonitions, many things can't just rely on training to absorb experience, governing a city is not a joke, and when he has mastered a lot of lessons, God knows how much Violet City has paid.

An Fei coughed lightly, mentally recalled the words of condolence, and knocked on the door.

"Please come in. Someone inside the door answered.

An Fei pushed open the door and walked in, when he saw the scene inside, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, in his imagination, Aroben should be lying on the bed now, his face was withered, either immersed in grief and unable to extricate himself, or he often yelled and used nerves to excrete his emotions, who knew that the scene he saw with his own eyes was too different from what he imagined.

Aroben sat on the chair and looked at An Fei quietly, his pale yellow slightly curly hair was neatly combed, his face was very thin, and his face was lightly smeared with a layer of fat powder, so that people could not see the background color clearly, a crimson mage robe wrapped his body tightly, and the junior magician medal hanging on his chest made An Fei feel very kind, and finally met a magician of the same level as himself!

"You're Lord Anfei, aren't you? I've heard Ert say it, please take a seat, please take a seat. A smile appeared on Aroben's face, and he stretched out his hand to signal to An Fei, this 'stretch' movement was very strange, Aroben's arm was moving, but his hand hung on his wrist like an ornament, shaking with the movement of his arm.

"Hope it didn't disturb your rest. An Fei smiled, and then slowly sat down in the chair.

"My lords are really joking, and I am too late to be grateful that my old man, who is crippled, can come and visit me. Aroben glanced at his weakly shaking hand, and a gloomy look swept over his eyes.

"Hehe......" An Fei laughed, and only laughed, the opening words that he had thought of were useless, and he mourned? People didn't look sad at all, and they should pay attention to rest? Aroben's mental state seemed to be very good, and what did he need to speak? He came here to visit, and secondly, to study, but An Fei needed Aroben's experience over the years.

"Listen to Erth, the Marquis of Zose's family's Chamasi has been executed by the Lord for attempting to assassinate the Lord?"

"Am I a little impulsive?" An Fei said with a smile, he didn't expect that Aroben didn't say a word of greeting, and went straight to the point, it can be seen that Aroben is a person who likes to do things coolly, and An Fei also appreciates such a character.

Aloben was silent for a moment: "My lord, although we have just met, some words are too abrupt to say directly like this, and it is easy to cause trouble, but I am already like this, what else do I have to fear?!"

"What do you have to say. An Fei smiled: "Don't call me 'adult' anymore, and regard me as your junior, just like Erte." ”

"The rules can't be messed up. Aroben shook his head slightly: "So, I'll tell the truth?"

"Speak, please. An Fei had a sudden feeling, he thought that he would talk to Aroben for a long time, and only after they got acquainted with each other

Something important, now it seems, Aroben is more anxious than himself. It stands to reason that an old man who has been in politics for a long time should not be so impatient, perhaps because this cruel blow has greatly changed Aroben's temperament.

"Your Excellency, you are too soft-hearted. Aroben said slowly.

"What?" An Fei couldn't help but be stunned, his first feeling was that Aroben was talking back, deliberately mocking himself, not only An Fei, but Erte, who was standing on the side, was also stunned.

"You know, Zose is the Marquis of the Empire, and he has been operating in the Empire for hundreds of years!" "An ancient tree that has grown for a long time, the roots of the ground may be more prosperous than the canopy, although Zose has been very low-key in recent years, but just like we can't see the root system of the ancient tree, we don't know how much potential Zosse has, Lord Amphi, do you think we are qualified to underestimate Zose?" Speaking of this, Aroben glanced at Zose.

"What do you mean......" An Fei's expression became very serious.

"This time, Dzose lost five sons, but what did he get in exchange? Dozens of acres of barren land, and some humble rewards, hehe...... Without you, Dzose might have accepted these rewards with relief, after all, their family fiefdom has not grown in the past hundred years, which is a good turning point, and it will be a great record in the family history in the future. Aroben sighed: "But with you, all this has changed! What people are most afraid of is to compare with each other, and many tragedies and tragedies are born from comparison." ”

"Yes, you have indeed made great contributions to the Empire, but he Zosse also sacrificed five sons for the Empire, why did you become the master of Violet City in the end, not him? In terms of title, he is the Marquis of the Empire, and you are only an earl, will Zose be convinced?"

"You know what? You've wasted a great opportunity! Shamasi assassinated you in the streets, and many people have seen him with their own eyes, you could have taken him to the sheriff's office, and then pointed the charges to the left, and just cut the grass to the roots. It's a pity that it's too late. Aroben shook his head: "As long as Zoser lives for one day, Violet City will have a day of unrest, if you don't believe it, let time prove my words." ”

"Zose is the Marquis of the Empire......" Ert muttered.

"And you, Erter, you're an idiot!" Aroben's voice suddenly became rough: "You actually exceeded your authority, opened the teleportation magic array without authorization, and transferred the official document to Blacknia City, if it weren't for your extra move, we still have room to recover, and now there is nothing!"

"I just want to determine the nature of this matter before Zose's complaint, as long as Shamasi's crime is recognized, we will have a lot of room for maneuver, and we can advance and retreat freely!"

"Saying you're stupid and you're getting more and more stupid?" said Aroben angrily: "There are many things in the world that can only advance and not retreat, we have killed Xia Masi, where do you want to retreat?"

Anfei and Erte looked at each other, no matter what kind of feeling Anfei had, it was not surprising, after all, he didn't understand Aroben, but Erte became dumbfounded, in his impression, Arauben was by no means a ruthless person, he was very tactful, he didn't offend people easily, and his reputation in Violet City has always been very good, not only the nobles have a good impression of him, but the commoners also respect him, and now Aroben is not the same person as before.

"What should we do now?" An Fei showed a wry smile, it has been a long time since he came to this world, he has fully realized how powerful the aristocratic class is, it is already very risky to kill Xia Masi, as for the Marquis of Zose, An Fei never thought of killing the other party in a bright way, he has not forgotten his own work, if the Marquis of Zose is really troublesome, it is a big deal to play night again!

And so on. ”

"Can you wait?"

"If I'm not mistaken, General Mioririch must already be reading the official documents, and his opinion will come down soon, and it will be time to see how Zose reacts. ”

"Miorridge?" An Fei's mind was filled with enthusiasm and energy.

"Yes, the commander-in-chief will take over all the military and political power in the war, so these matters are handled by General Mioririch, my lord...... Do you know General Mioririch?" Aroben spotted An Fei's anomaly.

"Have you forgotten who my teacher is?" said with a smile.

"My lord, if you have a friendship with General Miorrich, things will be easy. Arroben looked overjoyed.

"What friendship can I have with General Miorridge? He only treats me like a child. An Fei couldn't help but shake his head.
