Chapter 339 Silver Fox
The head of the three grand dukes of the empire, he has been in charge of the empire for more than 40 years. His influence is spread throughout the imperial political arena. Every word and deed can affect the direction of the imperial political situation. Even a look can change the fate of countless people. Even the emperor of the empire has to stand up and greet him when he sees him. , respectfully called Godfather.

What image would such an old man have?
While Lisa and Angela were quarreling on the way here, they had made curious guesses many times. From a dying old man who was blinded, deaf and fell down at the touch of a touch, to a muscular man with strong muscles and a strong body, basically two little ones. They had already guessed every image the girl could think of.

However, the two of them never expected that this veteran nobleman whose reputation was not limited to humans but had spread to all races would actually be an old man wearing patched coarse clothes, grazing like a commoner, and sleeping. I still drool when I do it!

This made the two little guys almost unable to close their mouths.

Shuer has never met Duke Silver Fox, and Saff has not introduced him in detail, but he is not surprised at all by the image of the old Duke.

The more powerful a person is, the greater the pressure. They always have some weird hobbies to relieve pressure, otherwise they will be overwhelmed and collapse.He has come into contact with too many people like him in his hometown, family commanders who command tens of thousands of soldiers, and family elders who control the overall situation of power. Everyone has a hobby of relieving stress to some extent.

Normally, some people like to read all night long, some like to write on the wall, and some like to play musical instruments. As for the abnormal ones, there are all kinds of things.Inviting a group of women to hide and seek all night long, having to sit in the toilet before falling asleep, and finding a few prisoners to bet against each other for their lives. Faced with these eccentricities, normal people can only lament their lack of imagination.In contrast, Duke Silver Fox just likes to herd sheep, which is not surprising at all.

"Ah, ah, who is it?" The old Duke has a sparse beard and gray hair. He is over 80 years old, and every wrinkle on his face is full of vicissitudes of time.Waking up from his sleep, the old man wiped the saliva from his beard and looked around for a long time before breaking out of his sleep and muttering, "It's a little mouse, it scared me."

Well, the name is apt enough to remember.

"Grandpa," Saff protested dissatisfied, "You promised a long time ago not to call me that again."

"Oh, by the way, I forgot." The old Duke knocked on his head, "Why did you come here today?"

"I promised you, have you forgotten? I said I would bring my friends to see you."

"Oh, I forgot again, yes yes yes, you said that." The old man's kind eyes swept over the two girls and finally landed on Xiuer's face, "Your friend?"

From an angle that Saff couldn't see, the old man's eyes changed instantly.

No longer ordinary, no longer confused, no longer kind, he suddenly became as sharp as a sharp blade and full of oppressive power. After all, he was a big shot who had been in power for many years. He didn't even need to say a word, just the momentum in his eyes made him... People can't help but want to retreat, and can't help but bow their heads to show surrender.

Unfortunately, he was facing Shuuer.

He had long been accustomed to big scenes in his hometown. After coming to Parvatiga, he spent all day talking to the gods. He had long been immune to things like momentum. Therefore, the old Duke's momentum did not have any impact on him. As if he didn't see the change in the other person's eyes at all, he nodded to the old man with an indifferent smile: "May the clear water always be by your side, child of God, praise the Holy Spirit, it is holy."

"Praise the Lord." The aura in the old Duke's eyes gradually faded, and his gaze became softer little by little. Soon, he returned to the confused and ordinary old man he was before, "Is this the Shuer you have to talk about for a long time every time? ? Little mouse, it turns out he is not a sheep."

Is this right? Xiuer nodded secretly, with an imposing manner and a sharp edge?That is the most superficial behavior. Only those political upstarts who have just climbed up from the bottom to take control of power will do this. Those truly veteran nobles with rich experience and deep thoughts are often like the old Duke, ordinary and introverted, just like Like the kind old man who can be seen everywhere sitting on the roadside basking in the sun, he will only show appropriate momentum when needed most.

If the Silver Fox Duke in front of him is still as imposing as before, then Soul will really doubt the old Duke's level, but his current performance seems to be, well, worthy of his reputation.

"Hey", perhaps thinking he was calling her, the lamb in Saff's arms raised its head, licked her face, and made a fawning cry.

Um?Is that all right?

"My name is Xiuer too, and I can also do 'baa'. Can I do it too..."

"Childish devil, I don't know you." Safu rolled her eyes at Shuer, who was licking his lips strangely, and wrinkled her nose at him behind Silver Fox's back, "Be serious, don't do this in front of grandpa."

"I think I'm serious. This is a very sacred question." Seeing that Saf had a tendency to put down the lamb and come over to help him beat his back, Xiuer coughed dryly, and the ambiguity on his face disappeared instantly, and he returned to the past. of holiness and innocence, "Dear Your Excellency the Duke, the apostles of the Dark Moon offer you their sincere blessings. In the name of the Lord, I wish you eternal health."

"Thank you for your blessing, hehe, he is an interesting person." The old man didn't mind the little moves between the two young people, twirling his beard and smiling, "Every time little Saff comes back to see me, at least half of the time I'm talking about you, what bad things did Xiu Er do, how did Xiu Er bully her, how could Xiu Er be unreasonable, I know your every move in the past two years better than I do hers."

"Tsk, tsk, what about the other half of the time?" He winked at the two girls and motioned them to exchange feelings with the sheep for a while. Shuer simply sat next to the old Duke and took the lamb from Saff's hand. By the way, he secretly pinched her a few times, causing the innocent Xiuer to bleat.

"Of course the other half of the time was spent telling me interesting stories about your adventures. How did Xiuer predict things in advance? How did Xiuer plan carefully? How dare Xiuer think and do? How did Xiuer have so much courage?" The old Duke and Xiure sat side by side, smiling as if they were chatting on a daily basis, "You know, it's always like this."

"Grandpa!" Saf blushed and protested loudly, "Don't talk like I'm only talking about him." "How is it possible, there must have been other things mentioned, such as... that Ms. Lin Jing? "To Moria, the old duke dare not comment in the tone of an elder. The age of elves is always a mystery, but one thing is certain, as long as they can walk out of the forest with confidence, they must be older than him , If the attitude is wrong, it will make a joke, "Moreia bullied people with Xiu Er again, and Moria deliberately transformed into naked in front of Xiu Er again, Moria's hair fell off me, and what I want Xiuer to help me select them one by one, well, it went around in a circle and seems to have gone back again."

"Grandpa, you are also a bully." How could Savu be able to hold on after these words were exposed in front of Shuer? Steam was almost coming out of her head. She grabbed the long-haired Shuer with a red face and gave it away. The two men each rolled their eyes and stomped off to find Lisa. Although Angela was a stranger, it was safer over there.

"Ha, he is a smart child." Looking at Saff's back, the old man said softly, "Knows when to do what to do, and knows how to leave space for us."

"Yeah, and you can eavesdrop from a distance."

"Bang", Safu, who was running into the distance, tripped over the weeds or herself, and almost dropped the lamb in her arms to the ground.

"Hiss, it hurts." Everyone called him Xiuer. Xiuer said tangledly, as if he was actually himself after being thrown, "How did that sheep live to be so big?"

Safu in the distance turned around, stuck out her tongue, and ran even further.

"Among my descendants, this child is the smartest." The old Duke looked at Sapph lovingly, "Smart, sensible, and really cares about me."

"Because you are the best to her." Xiure said meaningfully, "Is it to compensate for the guilt you feel towards your daughter?"

"Are you sure it's appropriate to say this in front of her?"

"She's not an idiot." Shuer sneered, "It's just the difference between telling the truth and not telling the truth."

"That's right, little Saff is so smart, he must have understood my psychology a long time ago." The old Duke sighed, "I do like this child very much. Of course, there are also factors of empathy and compensation."

"I once doubted that her mother, your daughter, was not the one you tried to kill."

"Are you sure it's appropriate to say this in front of her?" The old Duke was not angry, he just asked the same sentence.

"It wasn't appropriate, so I opened the isolation field, which is soundproof."

"You priests are so convenient." The old Duke was stunned for a while, as if he was lost in memories, and after a long time he said, "No."

"Well, I already know." Xiure nodded, "I knew it when I saw you. You are not so crazy that you can't take this last step."

"Actually, it's almost done." Both of them looked calm, just like two old friends reminiscing about the past. It was hard to tell that they were two people meeting for the first time. The old man laughed at himself, shook his head and said, "There's only one difference left. It’s just one step, no difference.”

"One step is the essential difference, well, the difference between humans and animals. The Lord said that there is only one step between heaven and hell. The Lord's words are the truth."

"It seems like you've already guessed all my intentions before we even met."

"I just sorted out the general context, it doesn't count as a 'complete' guess."

"Excessive modesty is a sign of arrogance." Duke Silver Fox looked at Shuer with satisfaction, "Oh, little Saff is very good at choosing people. You are indeed a very smart young man. That idiot Sullivan, if you can If I had one-tenth of your brain, I wouldn’t be where I am today, let alone cause me so much trouble over the years.”

"Oh, arrogant, stubborn, conceited, arbitrary, and stupid enough." Shuer sneered and said, "You really chose the wrong person when you chose him."

"I was too anxious, and I ended up taking a wrong step." The old man sighed with a wry smile, "I can't help it, I am also a human being, and I will make mistakes when I am afraid."

"Yes, I can understand, oh, it's so clear." Shuer asked softly, "When did you and that old lion have a disagreement?"

　I tried not to explain too much, but... I always felt that it was a bit too simple. . . . . .After reading tomorrow's chapter, please give me some opinions if you'd like, everyone.
