Alien world

Chapter 985 Chapter 216. Fishing
"Remember! We, the Free Blades, will trample the New Capital and kill all the nobles and wealthy people, including you!"

The roar and the uproar came through the window into the War Minister's office.

"Too rough..."

The military minister at the window kept shaking his head, repeating his previous comments on Liberty City to what the people outside were doing.

Even the dumbest person could tell that this guy was pretending to be the Free Blade. This wasn't just throwing mud at Liberty City, it was clearly a warning to these nobles not to take refuge in Liberty City...

The military minister felt relieved when he thought so, because it seemed that he was not the only one standing on the side of Liberty City.

The fake Free Blade outside the window has been caught by the Knights who arrived, and the next step is execution... No need to think, either he will be killed or a scapegoat will be found.

knock knock --

The military minister left the window and said, "Come in."

His henchman pushed the door open, looking a little panicked: "Sir, a Free Blade has been captured... Should we intervene?"

The military minister looked at him and spat out two words: "Idiot."

The confidant was puzzled, and the military minister did not want to explain: "Prepare the carriage, I want to meet the chairman of the parliament."

"Okay, my lord."

The president of the parliament should be in the parliament at this time. Passing by the square, a group of Free Blade members are being executed here.

The Minister of Military Affairs didn't know whether they were real Freeblades or in disguise, so he could only stand by and watch. However, the man standing in the middle of the gallows looked familiar... He seemed to be the bard who filmed "Rakanel Never Falls".

The unlucky guy messed up everything, and everyone from the king to the parliamentarians wanted him dead - the former thought he had brought shame to the kingdom, and the latter wanted to keep a secret forever.

Withdrawing his gaze, the Minister of Military Affairs came to the parliament in thought.

The chairman of the senator sat behind the desk, holding a magical newspaper—the words "Voice of Freedom" were prominently displayed on the back of the newspaper.

The Minister of War almost thought that the Councillor was one of his own - if he thought about it carefully, the Councillor did have many virtues that only Free City could have...

"The intelligence department's news is always late. I read it from the Voice of Freedom. The King of the North is really an excellent young man, but it's a pity that he took the wrong path..."

The chairman of the council shook his head and put down the newspaper.

"What do you want from me, Renato?"

"I'm going to the palace and I'll come to see you on the way."

Renato kept a very humble attitude; his position as Minister of Military Affairs was recommended by the Speaker of Parliament.

The old councillor expressed some relief: "Everyone else is busy making money, but you are the only one who remembers to come and see me."

They talked for a while, all about trivial matters. Renato did not try to test him. The chairman of the senator was an old fox, and who knew if he would notice anything.

After coming out, the military minister went straight to the adjacent cabinet.

The great men of these kingdoms are attacking each other like shrews.

"Otma, look at the person you picked, he almost exposed us!"

"Alexi, what right do you have to criticize me? I haven't even told you about your shit yet!"

"Why, do you want to bring up old issues? I'm not afraid of you!"

Alexi sneered: "Do you really think no one knows about the bad things that your lady's brother did?"

Otma's expression became unnatural, but he couldn't ignore it at this time. He bit harder: "Do you think I don't know your secret? The quartermaster you newly recruited-"

Alexi was slightly stunned: "What happened to him?"

"Don't think I don't know that he's in cahoots with Freedom Blade!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Faced with Otma's groundless accusations, Alexi was furious and a little scared.

"He doesn't want money or women, so if he's not from Liberty City, then what is he?"

"What do you mean, there can't be honest and fair people in the kingdom?!"

"That kind of person would work under you? Are you worthy?" Really...

The military minister outside the door shook his head.

This is the official of the kingdom, skilled in lying and making excuses to cover up his lies, good at accepting bribes and then blaming others. He pushed the door and walked into the cabinet, and the two councillors who had quarreled so much that veins on their foreheads popped out looked at him at the same time.

"Alexi, I need your help."

Alexi glanced at Otmar angrily, stood up and followed the Minister of Military Affairs out, standing in front of the circular staircase that gave a panoramic view of the surroundings.

"What do you want from me?"

Just like Renato who was discovered by the Speaker of the Senate, Alexi was pushed to the position of senator by Renato himself.

"What are you arguing about with Otmar?"

"Bena's matter... that bard. They talked about it so much that they could hardly keep it secret..."

"A bunch of greedy parasites..."

Since joining Liberty City, Renato has become increasingly disdainful of these nobles who only care about making money.

It’s because there are too many people like this that the kingdom has become such a mess!
Alexi was a little surprised. After all, the military minister who recommended him was usually quite corrupt... Never mind, it didn't matter.

"Have you encountered anything unusual recently?"

Alexi pondered and finally came up with an idea: "It is indeed a bit strange... The soldiers recruited recently are extremely obedient, and their quilts are always folded neatly."

The military minister groaned: "What do you think of Liberty City?"

"I...they are a bunch of scum, beasts, and bastards!" Alexi cursed with gritted teeth.

The military minister suddenly asked, "Did you get an invitation or a recommendation letter?"

Alexi was silent for a moment, his eyes lingered on the back of the military minister's neck for a moment, and he chose to reveal: "How did you know that?"

The Minister of War smiled smugly: "Liberty City told me."

"Even you..."

Alexi was stunned, then he let out a long sigh: "So you are looking for me... for a new mission?"

"No, I'm just telling you to be prepared." Renato leaned on the guardrail and looked at the hall where people were walking. "I feel like the headquarters of Liberty City is not far away."

"Understood……"

"So if you have any troubles, tell me as soon as possible, and I will help you solve them if I can."

After a slight hesitation, Alexi said, "There is indeed one thing..."

Among his eight quartermasters was a new guy named Tai.

He is enthusiastic, talkative, and has the faith and integrity that most young people have. He helps the poor and is never lenient towards nobles who break the rules.

"Is he the Freeblade?" asked the Minister of War.

"I had my suspicions, and what puzzled me was that he became more and more radical, and as time went on, he began to persuade those around him and his subordinates to talk about freedom and happiness... but no guards showed up to take him away."

The military minister hesitated for a moment and said, "Catch him and try."

"You mean... I understand."

The military minister left the cabinet and visited other people of his own according to the list given by Liberty City.

It's a bit risky to do this, but it's better than dying inexplicably at the hands of your own people.

He was also paying attention to the news from Alexi. The next day, Alexi sent someone to deliver a message that he had captured Tai. After a brief interrogation, he admitted that he was the person sent by the chairman to fish.

"I knew it."
