[Giant_Hunter] Absolute control

"It's really leisure." Xiqi took off the gun on his back, and then leaned his back against the wall and looked ahead. He was discussing with the maid in front of the booth what pattern to choose for the small wooden cup of Good Sicily.Probably because the place where the aristocrats live in the royal capital does not have such inconspicuous and cheap items, that's why the Duke is interested in this kind of gadgets carved by commoners.

After speaking, he squinted at Maruno, who was not looking well, and said with a smile, "Why is your expression so serious?"

Maruno lowered his head, his expression was not very good.Ever since they were selected by the duke, the people around them expressed envy for their luck, but it was more of a kind of jealousy. Friends who could talk a few words now chatted with the duke. I really want him to have a relationship.Of course, these are not the worst.

In fact, when he was sensible, he knew the extravagant life of the nobles. Unlike commoners like them, they worked hard to make money to barely fill their stomachs. When they were struggling for life, the only thing the nobles had to do was to enjoy themselves.He followed the duke for the past two days, and found that what the duke had to do every day was to go shopping and enjoy the services provided by others. He couldn't see what she had done to deserve her to enjoy this kind of life.

Just because of status.

"Nothing." Maruno replied.It is because of his status that he has worked so hard until now he has joined the Gendarmerie, and he will continue to struggle in the future, even if he sacrifices his dignity and personality, he has to climb higher.Only in this way, one day he can reform this corrupt regime.

"Huh?" Xi Qi was a little curious seeing Maruno's expression suddenly becoming more energetic, but it had nothing to do with her after thinking about it.Glancing at Yani, who was standing on one side and leaning against the wall, she was still staring straight ahead with a blank expression, as if she was very dedicated to guarding the safety of the Duke.

Yani, who was still motionless, suddenly stood up straight and walked forward. Xiqi was startled when she heard someone calling Yani's name.

What are you doing, it turned out that the Duke called her.

Xiqi looked at Sicily who was waving at them, and walked over with his gun on his back again.The Duke probably remembered Yani's name, and as for her and Maruno... the Duke probably also had a little impression of their faces.

"Look, isn't this cup cute? I bought eight of them! These three are for you." Sicily handed three small wooden cups to Yani.

Yani took the cup calmly and said, "Thank you, Duke." Then she turned around and gave two of them to Xi Qi and Maruno.

Maruno held the small wooden cup in a daze, he didn't expect that the Duke would actually buy something for them.

Xiqi took the cup from Yani with a smile, and held the cup in his hands as if he couldn't put it down, thinking that the Duke seemed to be easier to get along with than she thought.

Sicily smiled and showed two of them to Ander, "Ander, this one is for you and Mal."

Ender took the cup with both hands in astonishment, bowed and thanked, "Thank you Duke!"

"Then the remaining one is mine, this one is for Alvin, and this one is for Captain Nair." Sicily distributed the remaining three cups. "Well, when we go back to Ender, let's use this cup to make tea!" Then he looked at Yani and the three of them again and said, "You three also come to drink tea together, Ender's craftsmanship is very good."

The three of Yani were taken aback for a moment, and then immediately responded, "Thank you, Duke."

"Ender, let's continue to the front to see if there is any good-looking box. I will wrap this cup and give it to Alvin. He will be very happy." Sicily said with some expectation.

"Yes." Ander also took the cup from Sicily's hand, packed it up and handed it to Yani and the others to carry, then pushed Sicily forward.

After shopping around Sicily, Yani and the three of them were already full of things.

After returning to the gendarmerie branch, Sicily said that she would go back to the room to reorganize first, and then asked Yani and the others to put the things in the storage room, and then go to the outer hall for a tea party later.

After Sicily left, Maruno sighed and walked to the storage room with the things in his hands.

"The duke's shopping ability is too strong." In the past few days, every time I go out with her for a stroll, I always return with a full reward.The things he bought were basically messy gadgets. After throwing them into the storage room, he guessed that the Duke probably forgot what she had bought when he turned around.

"It's a woman's nature. One day I can buy whatever I want like the Duke." Xiqi said enviously.

"This is prodigal and wasted." Maruno said seriously.

Xiqi paused, and immediately laughed out loud in the next second.

"You idiot, haha."

"What, what are you doing... I'm telling the truth, okay?" Maruno didn't expect that his words would get such exaggerated laughter and ridicule from Xiqi. "These things are nothing at all."

Xi Qi shrugged and said with a smile: "Forget it, people like you won't understand."

What?Maruno had no idea what Ciki was talking about.

Xiqi stepped up to catch up with Yani and asked with a smile: "Yani, what do you think of these things?"

Yani walked forward without squinting, and replied lightly: "It has nothing to do with me."

It's really indifferent, Xiqi looked at Yani and sighed.Why is everyone she meets weird?A mind so rigid that he wants to reform and abandon his personality, but he doesn't care about climbing up, but he doesn't even understand the simplest rules of doing things.Look at the things in your hands, if you don’t buy them if you think they are useless, then how can those people who sell things live?Oh my god, if you can get into the leadership, Maruno, then she probably can become the president.The other one was cold as hell, not knowing what was going on in his head.

After the three people put their things away, they turned and left to find Sicily, but when they passed the promenade, they found a few soldiers loading some items in a carriage to transport them out, and there were a few merchants standing at the side door Appears to be ready for acquisition.

Xi Qi was just looking at it, although it was strange, but because it had nothing to do with them, so she just walked over as if she hadn't seen anything, but Maruno who was walking beside her suddenly became very excited and then Just jump over the fence and run up to the soldiers to block their way.

"What are you doing?" asked the soldier who was blocking the road with a bad expression.

"What's on your carriage?" Maruno asked back.

"Go away, it has nothing to do with you." The soldier's face changed and he said fiercely.

"Those are the Duke's things." Maruno directly told the origin of those things. He still remembered the things he brought back from shopping with the Duke these days. "And those are the daily necessities sent to the Duke by the Duke's mansion."

The reason why it is said that the nobles are extravagant is that the duke needs to transport all his daily food and clothing from the duke's mansion every morning.

"Don't worry about it, the Duke won't use these things anyway." The soldier stepped forward and threatened Maruno in a low voice: "Recruit, don't meddle in things that don't belong to you, and don't think you were chosen by the Duke." That's amazing."

There are some things that the nobles will not use again after they have used them once, but they are basically intact. It is a waste to throw them there. For such things that can be embezzled by default, soldiers will sneak them out and sell them. Everyone knows each other.Just like dealing with those civilian materials, no one will take care of some of them anyway.

"You..." Bruno was very angry and stood there without moving.

Seeing Bruno's appearance, those soldiers obviously lost their patience and prepared to directly teach this smug kid some lessons, and punched Bruno in the stomach with one punch, instantly making him fall to the ground.

"If it's not for the sake of protecting the Duke, hum." After the soldier said something contemptuously, he continued to drive the carriage towards the side door.

"You..." Maruno stood up with his hands on his abdomen, and he was still ready to stop him.

The soldier turned his head unhappily, thinking that this kid really deserved a beating.I kindly let him go, but I don't know how to cherish it, and I want to die.

"Bruno." A female voice prevented the soldier from attacking again.

Ender came out with a smile and said, "Bruno, Yani, and Xiqi, Miss has been waiting for you in the outer hall for a long time." After speaking, he glanced at the two soldiers, who immediately showed a flattering smile, and then realized that It's a bit bad... If this matter is not discovered, it will be fine. If it is discovered... then it can be sentenced to death.

In the end, Ender just glanced at them, turned around and walked in without saying anything.

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Bruno fiercely.

Bruno was planning to argue, but Xi Qi immediately walked over to hold him back and said, "Hurry up, the Duke is waiting for us." After speaking, he forcibly dragged Bruno away.

Yani watched from the sidelines from the beginning to the end, and at the end she was very angry when she saw Bruno, but she could only be dragged away by Xiqi, and followed silently.

This kind of rotten human beings, in fact, is fine if they are all dead.

However, looking at Bruno who was struggling in front of him, his eyes glowing red with anger, Yani didn't know why she thought of another person, they were all fighting against this unfair fate.Perhaps, because of the existence of this guy, the humans inside the wall became less annoying.

Lowering her eyes, Yani suddenly said, "Want to beat them up? I can help you."

Xiqi and Bruno were stunned at the same time, looking at Yani in disbelief.

Xiqi didn't understand how Yani, who had always been withdrawn and distanced herself from others, would suddenly say such words in a brain twitch.Is stupidity contagious?

Bruno didn't expect that the person who supported him turned out to be Yani who he thought was the most indifferent and indifferent.

"I think it's better for you not to be so impulsive."

A voice suddenly broke their frozen scene.

"Duke!" The three people saluted and shouted immediately after seeing the person coming.

"Duke, they stole your items and resell them privately." Bruno saw Sicily and reported immediately.In fact, it's not just this, they often resell civilian materials. Bruno actually hopes that Sicily can use her to find out about the following things.

"I know." Sicily said with a smile.

"Then you..." Bruno looked at Sicily in surprise, since the Duke knew why he still did these things?

"You want to be an officer, right?" Sicily asked instead.

"Yes, it is."

"I think it's better for you to give up. You're not suitable at all." Sicily said with a smile, "You don't know how to get along with others. How can you get involved in this circle?"

"Even if I make you an officer, it won't be long before you will be framed to death." Sicily tilted her head, blinking her eyes and said in a simple tone.

"Why?" Bruno was puzzled and dissatisfied. Could it be that good people can't control power?In other words, can't those in power be good people?What a fallacy.

"Because the environment is already like this. How can you survive if you don't adapt to becoming the same kind? If you can't survive, what else do you want to do? Well, forget it. This is too demanding for your brain and is not suitable for you. We Let's go drink tea." Sicily said with a smile.

Bruno wanted to say something, but Xi Qi immediately tugged on his sleeve, motioning him to shut up.

Indeed, if you die, you can't do anything.

"Yani, no matter what, I must come back alive."

Yani glanced at the sky outside, in fact, she just wanted to live well.But looking at those blood and lost people, sometimes she doesn't even know why she is living like this?

Glancing at Bruno, Yani thought why she couldn't help helping him, probably like why she taught Alan martial arts, she just wanted to help such a good person to relieve her guilt, it was really enough Hypocritical.

"Yani, even if everyone is against you, Dad will stand by your side."

Clenching her fists, Yani looked up at Sicily, and followed.

Didn't she already have this kind of consciousness?

Sicily felt the gaze from behind and curled up the corners of his mouth. Did he make up his mind to act?
