"Centurion Stout."

  Lothar said hello.

  Stout looked at Lothar and said suddenly:

  "You are... Lothar, right? I'm the new centurion. I have an impression of you. Today, thank you for reminding Ramdo of that old stubbornness, although it didn't come in handy in the end."

  "Has the assassin who attacked you been dealt with?"

  Stout suddenly looked annoyed. He was the centurion in charge of the defense of Poseidon Square tonight, but he couldn't use any strength at all: "No. Let him run away. That guy is stronger than me. If he wasn't afraid of being seen through by me, The bottom line is, I don’t dare to use my full strength, I’m afraid I’m no match for him.”

  Stott hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice and asked: "By the way, what happened to that golden light just now? Did someone from the Holy Church interfere in the stands?"

  Lothar said: "It's the Glory Knight."

  "It's really her. I thought I was wrong just now."

  Stout's face was a little stiff: "She should have left, right?"

  Lothar nodded and said, "Yes, she just came to watch the show."

  As if to prove that what Lothar said was true, Lavinia said uncomfortably: "Today, thanks to the intervention of the Glory Knight, this giant already had the blessing of the divinity of the earth, and sold his soul to the devil. The strength is extraordinary. The dragon knight invited by the circus could barely reach the threshold of a centurion, but he didn't even last a round and turned into two corpses."

  Stout laughed dryly and said: "Although the process was quite dangerous, it seems now that the result is pretty good."

  Lothar frowned and said, "This result is not necessarily good."

  The movement of the Holy Spear cannot be concealed. It is estimated that everyone in Turin has seen the ghost of the Holy Spear. But given the situation at that time, it was impossible to kill the demonized giant without using the holy spear.

  Therefore, Lothar could only throw the blame on Jeanne, who never appeared at all.

  Anyway, no one would believe that Lothar, a wolf with the blood of the Saluzzo family, could use the holy spear.

  "The Knight of Glory first appeared in the New World and helped the Basilicata family in Texas defeat the expeditionary force. Then, he came to Turin and 'helped' us deal with the demonized giant."

  Lothar paused slightly and then said: "And we, Saluzzo, are still the traditional allies of the Basilicata family, Centurion Stout, do you still think this matter has been resolved?"

  Stout's face froze and he couldn't help but cursed: "Damn Yaksi son of a bitch."

  His face turned livid and he cursed: "In my opinion, what happened today has nothing to do with them. The assassin who attacked me is definitely from the wolf clan."

  The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he said with some fear: "The people of the Yaksi family have gone too far. There is also a count from Provence watching the performance today. If we really want the French to declare war on us because of this, they will Aren't they afraid of pushing everything to the point of no return? Are they now even ignoring the overall interests of the wolf clan for the sake of internal fighting? "

  Lothar sneered and said: "Perhaps, that is the result that the Wolf Lord can see. The greater the pressure from the outside, the faster the Yaksi family will integrate the wolf clan."

  A loose confederation cannot develop and can only be clenched into a fist under external pressure.

  The Apennine states united have a population of more than [-] million. Looking at the European continent, it can be regarded as having the potential to become a powerful country, but this potential has not been realized for a long time.

  Lothar added: "It is better to cut off some of the flesh than to wait for the wolf federation in the New World to return to Apennines and drive the Yaxi family off the throne of the wolf overlord in the future."

  Stott was silent for a while, then cursed: "Isn't he afraid that he will lose it?"

  "Who knows, the Wolf Lord is very cunning. Maybe there is some unknown source of information that confirms that the two neighbors to the north and west do not dare to attack us - of course, it is also possible that they have already reached a deal, for example, Cede Piedmont to France and return Lombardy to the Habsburgs, just as the Wolf Lord ceded Savoy to France in exchange for marching into the North Apennines.”

  The Wolf Clan was able to march into the northern Apennines, it seems, with the help of the French.

  Although the power of the Holy Church, including the Pope, has moved to France, the French demeanor of a filial son of God has never changed.

  "Centurion Stout, I leave the matter here to you. My relationship with Centurion Ramdo is not very good. Under such circumstances, if we meet, both parties may feel awkward." Stout responded: "Okay, no problem, just leave the rest to me. Lothar, let's have a drink together when we have the chance."

  "of course."

  The two exchanged pleasantries and left the arena.

  Lothar and Lavinia walked side by side, each with her own thoughts.

  "If you have any questions, just ask."

  Lavinia hesitated and said, "What is your relationship with Basilicata, the Wolf Federation of Texas?"

  "They are like-minded."

  Lothar smiled and said that he had long wanted to talk to Lavinia about the Wolf Federation, but what he said before was a superficial conversation. Who would talk about rebellion with someone they had just known for a short time?

  "How dare you say it!"

  Lothar smiled and said: "There is nothing I dare not say. I have always felt that an idealist like Miss Lavinia should agree with Patriarch Giuliano's ideas."

  "I have personally been to Texas. It is really different from the Apennines. The wolves are killing monsters and ferocious beasts for humans. Humans provide taxes and food for the wolves. Although they still have to pay protection fees, this amount is At least the money has fallen into place.”

  In fact, Patriarch Giuliano's ideas are not necessarily that advanced.

  But advanced or not is never an absolute concept.

  Lavinia fell silent.

  Lothar added: "Perhaps compared to General Garibaldi's idea, Patriarch Giuliano's idea is not ideal enough, but because of this, I think it can be implemented more effectively."

  "Let's talk about it. I don't want to think too much about political matters."

  Lavinia shook her head: "I have received enough news today. I need time to think about the conspiracy of the Sassari family and the strange things about you."

  "it is good."

  Lothar stopped in front of a bakery: "Please wait a moment."

  He walked into the bakery and bought a large bag of brown bread the same way he bought it last night: "These are for the homeless. After all, I have just become a centurion and the new month's salary has not been issued yet." , so I can only treat them to some food that can fill their stomachs."

  Lavinia nodded and said: "This is the best thing. Instead of helping ten hungry wanderers eat a delicious meal, I think it would be better to help a hundred hungry wanderers barely fill their stomachs. Makes some sense.”

  "Your plan is more reliable. Many homeless people actually don't need this little food. The most difficult thing for them is to get through this cold winter. If it's just food, they should be able to feed themselves."

  Turin's textile industry is expanding, and it is when a large number of cheap labor is needed. It is not difficult for these wanderers who have been "driven" into the city to find a job to make a living.

  Of course, what Lothar said about feeding was just feeding.

  The salary of a textile worker is completely enough to fill his stomach and even allow his children to have enough to eat, but the rest is simply out of consideration.

  Their children are still poor people who cannot afford to go to school. They work intensively every day, sacrificing their health in exchange for a meager salary. As long as they get a serious illness, they can almost be declared dead.

  Because they have no money left to save for medical treatment.

  Once you become seriously ill, it means losing your job, and losing your job means having no food to eat.

  On the contrary, some wolf wanderers, because they are strong enough, can do some jobs such as porters. This kind of purely physical work is much higher than the salary of textile workers and the like.
