When someone heard the movement, Boravi was helping Waterland out of the water room.

"He suffered from night blindness again." This is Boravi's explanation, "so he accidentally hit the wall."

The night watchman looked at them sympathetically: "At least drink more needle leaf tea, if you really can't eat offal."

"I will try to convince these friends," Boravi said.

The night watchman went back to his private room. Waterland clutched his severed abdomen, unable to speak out from the pain. It took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "You lied..."

"Yes, but it's a white lie," Boravi said.

Waterland said angrily: "You liar——"

"What did I lie to you?" Boravi asked, "I told you that I learned martial arts again, but you attacked me regardless of friendship."

"You said - you won't lead the city into chaos and struggle, you won't let people drag innocent people into the abyss for their own self-interest, you said you will do everything in your power to protect women, children And the old man, you said—" Waterland leaned against the wall, gritting his teeth, "You said, you have regained your faith!"

"I'm not lying." Boravi calmly said, "Haven't I been working hard to save as many people as possible?"

"You have planned to invade this city, is this the result of your efforts?"

Boravi was silent for a while, and asked in a low voice, "If I entrust the matter to you, what kind of result will you give me, Waterland?"

"Robert Cael needs you! He doesn't want too many nobles in his city. He wants to truly own the city. He will want to form an alliance with you. You can give him conditions that satisfy him. Why are you so eager? Why do you dare to be so rebellious?" Waterland said, "Invading an autonomous city, and being the only one that has fully opened its arms to you, is such greed and treachery! You really Know what you are doing? If you could say that you were innocent businessmen before, from now on, you are robbers in sheep's clothing! No one wants to trade with you anymore, and the citizens of other cities will fear you and reject you, The lord will even come to encircle and suppress you—you got Maxi City, but what you got in exchange is to become an enemy of the world!"

"Satisfying his conditions is like handing over medicines to him for distribution during a plague outbreak?" Boravi said.

"He is the legitimate ruler here!" Waterland said angrily, "He pays taxes to the king, has the charter certificates of at least three lords, and he has the support of the citizens! And what are you? You are a group of foreigners! No one expects the prosperity and stability of their cities more than the rulers, and those reasons for your so-called distrust are just excuses to steal power!"

"Even if he has such intentions, I haven't seen him have such ability." Boravi said, "So, for you, is he a qualified city lord?"

"He has done everything he can!" Waterland propped up his body and retorted, "Besides, if it weren't for Lord Robert, would you want Earl Cadran to govern this city? Of course he would like to, but that's a head Fierce wolves! Ever since he learned of the existence of foreigners, the gold coins paid by Maxi City can no longer satisfy his appetite. He has long coveted the wealth of foreigners. You have rushed straight to me and devoured your foundation in Marcy City! But now you are acting recklessly, so that Robert has to ask several lords for help at the same time. The pain caused by the natural disaster is enough, and you still need To add to the man-made disaster, the matter has come to this-"

"It turns out that this is the end of the matter..." Boravi heard fascinatedly, and he repeated in a low voice, as if he was shaken.

Waterland slowed down a bit, and seeing him like this, another faint flame of hope rose, "This is the end, are you willing to wake up? If you sincerely repent, there is still a chance of life. Do you remember that I told you You mentioned that a cardinal is also paying attention to the city of Marsh, and he has a very close relationship with the archbishop of the archdiocese, if we can..."

"The matter has come to this point—" Boravi nodded slightly, and repeated again, "It turns out that we have reached a dead end by ourselves."

"But it's not too late!" Waterland said eagerly. "Before you make a big mistake, if you're going the right way—"

"—Understanding that religion is the last refuge, sincerely offer your wealth, submit to you, and assist your purple-clothed bishop to turn this place into a city of piety?" Boravi said softly, "In this way, not only will the current dispute be resolved They are all transferred to the upper echelon, turning into a conflict of interests between the lord and the diocese, and it will also complete the brotherhood that you and I broke off many years ago."

Waterland's voice came from his heart: "Don't you want to see this result?"

Boravi suddenly laughed and said: "As long as there are enough outstanding achievements, a lowly priest can also hope for the position of bishop? As long as I can promote this peace, I can get the support of the local nobles and chambers of commerce, including those As a foreign businessman, everyone would prefer a well-founded person to be a commercial agent of a foreigner... If you have more luck, within ten years, you and I will not only be able to restore the glory of our surname, but even look forward to a greater future. Achievement—but if the Gentiles do something reckless, it will all be for naught, right?"

"So you understand everything, Boravi." In the dim light, Waterland groped to grab his hand, "You still remember how our family was destroyed at the beginning, right? You still remember that we were displaced You still remember the humiliation you suffered when you were young, you still remember our oath of revenge, you still remember the words of the teacher when he was dying, right?"

"I remember... yes, I remember all of them." Boravi said, "I still remember the blood, my father's head rolled in front of me, and my mother and sister..." His voice became lower and lower The epilogue seems to melt into the night.

Waterland grabbed him tightly, "As a son of man, as the last and only heir of the Tarsila family, you understand your responsibilities very well, don't you?"

Boravi let him hold him. "But, my cousin," he said, "where did all your hopes come from without these Gentiles?"

Waterland paused briefly, "These heathens came here for profit, and this city gave them a chance—"

"But you accepted the invitation and have stayed here for five days," Boravi asked in a low voice. "Then, my cousin, what do you think they are after?"

"It's nothing more than money and land. They've got enough money, so they're starting to seek territory!" Waterland concluded shortly and forcefully. "Boravi, don't you know better than me that you're in it?"

"I'm not sure," Boravi said.

Waterland was taken aback.

"I used to think I knew, until I found out that it was just an illusion." Boravi said, "Because I am a narrow person, I can't understand his world, so I always use the way I hate the most and I am most used to. To explain everything he does—as you do, cousin."

Waterland was shocked and angry, as if being played with, "You are still—"

"Give up your illusions, cousin, this is my advice." The nightlight cast a silhouette on Boravi's face, and he let the priest's hand off his collar, "No matter what we think, I don't Seen a man who can resist him. You can't understand now, but soon, as I was then, facts speak louder than words—”

A new day has arrived, and it is still a gloomy and gloomy morning. The flustered courier hurriedly left the hostel avenue in the west city, and headed straight for the east city. , Standing tall and eye-catching signs of the building.

In the afternoon, the ripples of the rumors spread to all corners of the city, and the issue that had worried the residents of Mahi City for a long time finally came to a conclusion: the foreigners would negotiate with the city lord and nobles of Mahi City.This will determine the fate of Gentiles and other important matters.

It is easy to guess that this development has something to do with the new Gentiles who came through the wind and rain that day. Although the Gentiles operate in the city of Mahi, the replacement of personnel is common.Too frequent member changes are one of the reasons for their attacks, but their explanations can also convince a large number of people-this city really lacks skilled craftsmen who can satisfy them, so those masons and carpenters from the Gentile territories came to Come and go.It's just that the people who came this time are really extraordinary, and what they brought is unknown, and it's not that important. The important thing is that there is a man with black hair and black eyes in this group of people, who seems to be a bereaved man.

And that man was not a slave, had no stocks, and he was probably one of the leaders of the Gentiles.

Upon hearing this, Bishop Mance, who had been waiting in peace, rushed to the hillside castle. In order to avoid the epidemic and other safety considerations, the castellan and his mage had lived there since winter.The bishop discussed with them in the castle until the next morning, and then returned to the church under the escort of the knights.

During this time, messengers also brought the replies of the castellan and nobles to the Gentiles.The letter wrote that out of the mercy of God and the free spirit of the city itself, they allowed the foreigners to put forward the conditions of staying in Mahi City, and they would wait for the foreigners in the hill castle at the place of negotiation. There were at least [-] representatives of nobles and merchants present, and according to this ratio, the Gentiles on the other side could only be present at most five people. Only in this way could they reluctantly agree to give a chance.

The nobles tried their best to protect their face with words.But everyone knows that this is almost the best way they can choose at present. As long as both parties want to solve the immediate problem, they can achieve a certain range, and most importantly, within a long enough period of time. Haggle slowly.

Disturbingly, the gentiles, without haggling at all, not only fully accepted the demands, but spread the word even more rapidly.

They promised to send at least two of their own leaders, and a brotherhood, a sisterhood important figure.There is no doubt that the rumored black-haired leader is also among them.

There is no more reason to persuade myself to repent on the castle side.

God is sorry, in recent days, this maddening rain has finally shown signs of stopping, and the heavy sky will occasionally crack one or two gaps in the clouds, leaking a few strands of sky light that people are looking forward to. , which is a good sign of hope.And the appointed day was an unprecedentedly good weather. The pattering rain almost completely stopped in the early morning, and only the cool breeze was blowing on the face with a hint of coolness. People were finally able to temporarily escape from their dank dwellings. Moved stones to fill the silt-deep streets, and tried to find materials that were not wet and decayed to repair the crumbling houses.So Hostel Street became lively again, and it was almost the only place in the city that was still alive.The coming negotiations seemed to have no effect on what the Gentiles were going to do, and they were still very generously based on the streets, lending ladders and tools to the citizens, and bark sheets and other good materials, and besides materials, they A craftsman was sent to each street, and the townspeople paid nothing other than to supply their food.

It's like they themselves believe that no matter what the outcome is, they can still continue to stay in Maxi City safely.

While waiting in line, the citizens and laborers who were almost used to the various arrangements of the Gentiles whispered about this matter. No matter which side they were willing to stand in the conflict between the Gentiles and the noble chamber of commerce, for all those who had ears and eyes, There can be no doubt that the Gentiles began to perform many of the functions of the rulers of the cities at an early age, even far beyond what the masters of the cities were supposed to do.Would the city have had such prosperity without the Gentiles?Without the Gentiles, what would the city of Mahi be like in this disaster that has not yet passed?

Will the nobility and the Chamber of Commerce really drive out the Gentiles?And will the Gentiles really leave?

It was a matter of survival, so when a group of Gentiles who appeared to be attending negotiations left the hostel, some couldn't help watching them, some silent people followed behind them, and then more people noticed them , more people followed.

Out of various scruples, and at the urging of the Gentiles, who also seemed to herald some change, the meeting was fixed in the morning.For this meeting, the castle and the cathedral have been busy almost since the documents were written. When they learned that the Gentiles had come to the hill as promised, and there were only five of them, the people who were waiting behind the stone wall showed a little happy look.

Whatever the reputation of the Gentiles among them, it is true that these aliens never broke their credit.

The city lord was still worried, he clasped his hands, and the rough holy stone was imprinted on his palm.The bishop rubbed the white necklace on his chest beside him, and prayed in a low voice: "God bless the pious, the heavens are free from evil spirits, the holy glory is with me..."

People inside and outside the castle and around the guard walls watched the end of the hillside path, and whispers spread: "Here they come." "They came." "They really came." "Look—"

A brief pause.

"what is that?"

Condescending, the hill overlooks the city, like water seeping through the cracks in the rocks, or like ants leaving their nests, crowds come out from the streets, alleys, and the gaps in the houses. They hang behind a group of people and gather on the stone-paved main road slow tide.Most of them were quiet, some were anxious. They were always separated from the foreigners who came to negotiate. However, when these people looked up at the top of the hill, goose bumps appeared from the surprised nobles and businessmen. , The sound of metal clashing was transmitted in the wind from bottom to top, and the knights and guards guarding the foot of the mountain lowered their spear points and took up positions, as if they were facing an enemy.

Gentile turned and said something to the crowd, so they stopped.

Then the Gentiles went up the mountain path.

They paused for a while at the pass.The chief of the city defense looked at them with hatred, and said coldly: "You have one more."

Atolia whispered, "I am the guide."

The chief of the city defense only glanced at the pale girl out of the corner of his eye, and continued to stare at the tallest one among the six, "Take off your cloak and hand over your weapons, foreigners!"

With no objection, nor accusation of his impertinence, the Gentiles flung their cloaks to the side of the road, and with a display of unobstructed ornament and empty hands, passed one by one through the arch of two spears, as the last When his hair color and features were fully revealed, there was a gasp and a cry from the guards to the circle of stone walls.

Such black, night-like long hair!There are also such black eyebrows and eyes that are as dark as a nightmare!

But his handsomeness—that kind of flawless, unreasonable, and almost inhuman handsomeness is equally impressive. He climbed up the steps and looked around the venue. As far as he could see, everyone almost instinctively backed away, shocked, The second is fear, until he crossed a certain boundary, someone yelled with a trembling voice and threw something at him. Unsurprisingly, the other party caught the holy stone ornament almost casually, and then Carelessly throw it on the ground.

There was another uproar.The auxiliary bishop, impulsive with fear, stared blankly at the unresponsive ornaments on the ground.

"Good day, everyone," he said, and several of them covered their ears when he spoke, and he never gave them a second glance.

"My name is Arslan Fan, I am from the Western Industrial Union, the first disciple of the 'Foreign Land Creator'. For three years, all the so-called 'foreigners' who have been operating in Maxi City have followed his footsteps sincerely. Ordered by The will of this Your Excellency and the Industrial Alliance, I am here today to consult the rulers of Marsh City, is there a possibility for the two sides to coexist peacefully with each other under a common major goal?"

"We've never heard the name 'Exotic Creator'." Amidst the din of "Demons!"

"The name is just a decoration of power, or a name for doing as the Romans do. It doesn't matter to that Your Excellency." The foreign visitor said, his tone was cold, "The catastrophe is imminent, have you thought about it?"

"Are you a bereaved family?" Someone called again.

"So what if it's true? So what if it's not?" Fan Tianlan asked.

"Go away! We don't deal with demons!"

Surrounded by nearly a hundred people, Fan Tianlan raised his eyes, and the other party jumped up like a whip, and hurriedly stopped the sacred mark in front of him.

"If," Fan Tianlan said slowly, "this is the attitude of the ruler of Marsh City towards us, then—"

"No!" The city lord surrounded by the crowd suddenly yelled, "Wait! Stop—"

Perhaps his original intention, who has been tortured by all kinds of undisclosed news, is indeed to prevent the worst from happening, but before that, those nobles who surround him and regard the city of Maxi as an inseparable interest The merchants and mercenary chiefs have unified their goals under the influence of the bishop—these Gentiles, who hide evil spirits, cannot be satisfied in any way. The harsh conditions of the crowd situation turned into a siege trap quite logically.The Santo did not stop anything, on the contrary, his voice was like an order——

"Shengyao is with me, evil spirits!" An old voice shouted, "Quick!"

The mage and his apprentices began to chant, and dozens of knights and guards also moved at the same time. Amid the clanging sound, spears rushed towards the narrow space in front of the guard wall. With a shocked face, Atoria's widened eyes reflected a sharp cold light, and before the scream could be squeezed out of his throat, his legs involuntarily succumbed, and then he heard the voice of that person.

"Squat down."

Fan Tianlan stepped over his companion in one step, the sole of his boot hit the ground, the bang exploded, and the broken tip flew up. In the blink of an eye, dozens of spears fell sideways with their holders, piercing his vest five or six spears away from him. There were still two steps away, and the distance disappeared in the next moment. As soon as the lost sense of touch in the hand was transmitted to the brains of the chief of the city defense and the others, a huge force was fed back along the way, hitting the chest hard, and they couldn't even scream. Unable to send out, several armored human bodies flew into the air. Until this moment, the first movement that human vision can capture is that he retracted his hand, and a thin chain swirled down from his wrist. .

Then, he took the second step.

The scene was only passed to the eyes, and the rest of the people were still acting subconsciously. The knight who was knocked into the air was still falling down the mountain. In the encirclement with gaps, a black net descended from the sky, arrows roared, and fireballs of all sizes gathered together Finally, the ground under his feet turned into a swamp. The exquisite spell coordination came from day and night targeting training, and it was very coordinated with the target of the attack. The magic net carrying the power of corrosion rolled into a rough black rope. The black-haired demon held the black rope and just flicked his wrist. In another sonic boom, all the arrows entangled in the net burst. !

The exclamation was only halfway out, and a terrified silence enveloped, and the sound of the human body rolling was still on the slope.

The black-haired young man walked through the mud like he was walking on flat ground. The magic net was also discarded by him, and it was still an ordinary-looking chain in his hands.

He looked at the people who were slowly retreating.
