Earl Arias threw the glass on the table, and the glass was about to shatter, but just when it was about to tip over, it turned a little strangely, and it steadily stopped on the table. There was no drop of leftover wine.
Earl stared at Pinto, as if asking the other to hear clearly, and said very slowly: "You should know that this is no longer a good option."
At this time, Pinto lacked some usual humility, and looked solemnly: "I have to look further for the future of the Arias family. Just like my grandfather did for your grandfather, my father for your father. Do that. "
"Are you ridiculing my short-sightedness?" The Earl's voice could not hear any annoyance.
"Your eyes always look at the highest place. I just pay attention to the branches that will trip you and cut them off."
"Huh, what if we need to build a ladder with these branches?"
"Maybe you haven't climbed to the top, it will grow into a terrible tree man."
"Your mouth, I didn't waste it so big." The count shook his head and smiled. "Why don't you say that it will be a tree man stepped on my feet? Even if the tree man is not obedient, Do you know what the best weapon the Berserker is good at? Axe! What can an axe be used for besides cutting people? Cutting trees! "
"They are different from us." Pinto didn't laugh as usual, but said more and more seriously: "They are different from all aspects of the world. Their rules, their life, they The way they do, they will destroy the original appearance of this world! Even if you have successfully seized the throne, you may not be able to bear the consequences. "
"Pinto, do you know the biggest difference between me and my father?"
Pinto raised his head unconsciously and glanced at a portrait on the wall behind the earl. The old earl was ready to ride on the horse. There were countless knights behind him, but his expression was hidden with melancholy. The painter captured this keenly. A little, or no need to capture, anyone who knows him a little bit should know his embarrassing situation? Pinto sighed and stopped speaking.
"That is, I will always remember that I am the son of a mad warrior. How can a mad warrior fight? Despite the pain, I will always move forward. I can endure for decades as a dude without any ability to make everyone look down on me. But I ca n’t bear to think about it, but hesitate! I think the attack of the Berserker must be thunderous, no hesitation! I will unite all the forces that can be united, and give the guys on the throne the most deadly blow. So , I ca n’t let go of any help that can be seen and touched.
Arias seemed to say what he had held in his heart for a long time.
We are far worse than them. Every weight on the balance must be added. Go up. As for the future, it will be another story. "
When Pinto saw the pale countenance of the Earl's pale face for a moment of excitement, he knew that there was no hope of persuading him. He bowed his head and humbled again, and asked softly, "Can the real negotiations begin?" "
"You go tell Li Jia that Xiao Chen must be invited. Although Li Jia has the authorization of the Magician Castle, what we want to talk about is much more important than what they are going to talk about. I have to talk to a real magician , Not a magic apprentice. "
"Do you want to invite Luo Ling, the female wizard?"
The earl of the "woman" mouth slightly curled up, I wonder if she remembered her daughter, "Let the women stay away from these things."
"By the way, you have watched it for several days. Do you think that Li Jia is worthy of Selena?" As Pinto retired, the count suddenly asked.
"Master, I said, they are different from us." Pinto replied.
"Come on, you stubborn old thing." The count said with a grin.
Luo Ling and Xiao Chen walked back to the office. The voting has just ended. A total of 25 people voted, including the 12 deputy heads and chairman Guo Qian. The final result was 20 votes in favor, 4 votes against and 1 abstention. Those slaves can stay right. But at this moment, Xiao Chen felt panicked.
"I didn't expect that there was a pot of porridge yesterday, and today I was in a good mood. You look at those people, and yesterday we broke our fingers and counted us one by two or three and four, and today we only smile and applaud. These people" Xiao Chen shook his head. , "What a shame!"
"This shows that they have begun to enter the role of politicians." Luo Ling looked as usual, perhaps with some ease to solve the problem, "Human, is a political animal, just like the queen bee always evolves in the hive. , A group of people will always have such roles. The difference is only in the means and standards. Did n’t we also play a trick to lobby outside the hospital yesterday? "
Xiao Chen stunned: "But we are not for our own personal benefit!"
"Who said they must be?" Luo Ling asked back, "Motivation is inherently idealistic. You think that others are here to fight for power, and they still think you want to eat solitary food! So instead of guessing what others are thinking, it is better Take care of yourself. "
Xiao Chen was speechless and could only digress: "Speaking of which, I still admire the guy who voted against it today. At least they have their own principles and bottom line."
"Everyone has a bottom line, it depends on whether you touch it. The villain on our side is also more useful than the gentleman on the opposite side."
"They have no position at all, they only stand on the side where they can take advantage." Xiao Chen sighed, "I originally thought that we people have crossed into a new era, many things can be repeated. But I did not expect , How many days has it been? Various annoyances and dirty things are beginning to show up again. Is this really a bad root that cannot be corrected? "
auzw.com "You have too many expectations for human nature. The next time you lower your goals, you may find many surprises."
Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at Luo Ling, still looking indifferent, and calmed down somehow, "Maybe it is."
When the two came to the door of the office, two young men and women were waiting at the door.
"Ye Zi? Why are you here?" Xiao Chen surprised.
"Senior, Ji Yijun and I are here to report." Ye Zi looked a little depressed.
"Well, Ji Yijun, I know, the‘ domineering little guy in the military team. ’
Xiao Chen held out his hand and shook Ji Yijun.
"What kind of domineering, arrogant is almost the same." Ji Yijun murmured, and the two greeted Luo Ling again.
"What's the story?" Luo Ling asked.
Ye Zi bowed his head and did not speak, but Ji Yijun turned his head away and said aloud: "Hi, what's embarrassing is that Wang Jiyuan, the grandson, must report that he was expelled from the camp. This is no, saying something new will be established A special department took care of the slaves and sent us over. Ouch! "
Ji Yijun was kicked by Ye Zi, only to wake up: "Oh, it's our assignment."
Xiao Chen was a little surprised: "Is Team Leader just still voting? When did he call you over?"
"Last night he pulled us over and said that military management is too rigid, not suitable for the development of people like us, or as a special service force. Let us report here this morning." Ji Yijun replied.
"Obviously what he said is no discipline, let's be a security guard." Ye Zi pierced Ji Yijun's disguise mercilessly.
"Humph." Ji Yijun's mouth narrowed, his arms around him, his head tilted to the side.
Both Luo Ling and Xiao Chen smiled, and they looked at each other. Luo Ling whispered: "Wang Jiyuan, understand people. I understood how this happened early."
"Hey, I'm really worried if I dare. Others already know the result."
"You're more honest." Luo Ling covered her mouth and chuckled.
The two murmured a few words, and Xiao Chen asked Ji Yijun two of them: "Aren't you both top guards in the camp? What happened?"
"We haven't done bad things" Ji Yijun put aside the things about letting goblins and hunt down horse thieves. Of course, in his description, his and Ye Zi's actions are full of justice, basically preventing them from doing things. Human relations are justified. When he arrived, he asked Luo Ling and Xiao Chen: "Sister Luo, Brother Xiao, you said, is it true that Wang Jiyuan has done this?"
Xiao Chen touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "It depends on who I stand at."
Luo Ling laughed, "I think Wang Jiyuan is quite authentic, if I were him, you are still locked in a small black room."
Ji Yijun will argue. But watching Luo Ling put a finger up in front of her mouth and made a mute gesture, she said: "Don't argue with me about who is right and wrong, if you think you are a man, you should be worthy of doing things. As a result, a person would cover things up and down again and again, and to put it bluntly, that is, he has begun to regret his original behavior. Then you follow me to do things, I have a little demand: do not do things that you will regret, no Say if you want to take it back. Can it be done? "
"Sister Luo, you should go to the military team. You are more angry than Wang Jiyuan's guy." Ji Yijun scratched his head. "You ask for this?"
"Of course not! This is just the first requirement. If this is not possible, please go back."
"Come on!" Ji Yijun nodded. "I think you are more interesting than Wang Jiyuan."
"I can too." Ye Zi said.
Luo Ling smiled a little between her lips, shopping for something like treasure, "Then welcome you to join the working group."
"Then, will the two of us go to the slave camp?" Ye Zi asked.
"No, I have other plans. Ji Yijun and I went to manage the camp. Ye Zi followed Xiao Chen. The last time we went to visit Count Arias was interrupted by a slave riot. Xiao Chen had to run again sooner or later. "
