On the Seven Towers

Arano Town, the residence of Baron O'Farrell, the main building has now become a school and training center, the auxiliary building has become the town government and hospital, the utility room has become a cultural palace, and the back garden has become a park.

The best way to make people here no longer fear the authority of the nobility is to pull things belonging to the nobility off the altar and make them within reach. When people's knowledge and mentality narrow the gap with them. Only then can we understand a little bit why the nobles are not more noble than them, and then we can understand what equality in personality is.

"Although it is limited to the modifier personality, which makes equality seem a bit flawed. But doing it is better than not doing it. Although it can't be achieved, the heart yearns for it. This is how we people slowly move forward." Xiao Chen accompanied Chen Hansheng slowly in the Walk in the park. The residents here are not used to playing in the baron's garden now. Most of the people playing here are children in school and some young people in love.

"You guys like to drop your schoolbags. According to me, the reason is very simple. I don't want to climb on other people's heads, and I will never allow anyone to climb on my head, otherwise I will fuck them!" Lao Chen's body is still there He has not fully recovered, but his momentum has returned. He pointed to the wall of the Baron's Mansion and said, "If it hadn't been for peace now, I would have demolished this wall long ago. Look at the two towers above. At night The young man was in a panic when he molested the dog in the park!"

"Old Chen, it seems this is your personal experience."

"Get out of here!" Chen Hansheng pushed him, and both of them laughed.

Xiao Chen added: "The envoy from the Duke of Green Forest City arrived yesterday. It is said that he went to Green Garden Town first and found that I had left with the prisoners, and rushed here all the way. When we entered the city, we happened to meet the prisoners. Parading the streets, according to Wang Zifeng, the messenger's face would turn white, green, or red, like a neon sign. "

"He didn't protest?"

Xiao Chen smiled and said: "Protest. If you don't protest, how can you show the role of this envoy? However, after these two battles, the Duke's strength has been greatly damaged, and he no longer has the confidence to fight with us. So the envoy All they could do was express their dissatisfaction. It was like they would definitely go back to Green Garden Town, but everyone knew that was impossible. The group of people at the school had a hard time and said on the phone yesterday that they must persist. Bottom line. I thought someone would jump out and say, pay attention to the relationship with the other party, maintain good neighborliness and so on. "The so-called phone is a large communication array, which can only be used in the house and cannot be portable. , but finally the various locations in the school can be directly contacted.

"Xiao Xiao, this is because you have lost your mind. Some people think like that because the war may affect them and endanger their lives. But now, there is no need for them to charge into battle and win the battle. The benefits will not be less for them, so they will naturally be happy to support us. If our action fails and the Duke of Greenwood City threatens the safety of the school, you can see what their faces will be like."

"This is true when you think about it!" Xiao Chen recalled that when the horse thieves attacked the city, those who advocated peace talks immediately felt disgusted in their hearts. He would rather face difficulties with people like Lao Chen than drink tea and dinner with those guys.

"Old Chen, when you meet the envoy, you should go with him. I think your energy has almost recovered. It's time to show up and tell those people that you can control the situation."

Chen Hansheng, always cheerful, said: "Okay."

—————————————

The envoy from Greenwood City is named Brahms, a viscount. Unlike the fat Viscount Anfular. He was thinner and younger, a blond man in his late forties.

Xiao Chen, Chen Hansheng and Karanda met him in the living room of the Baron Mansion. After a brief exchange of greetings, Xiao Chen asked straight to the point: "I wonder, Your Excellency, the Duke, what feedback do you have on the request I asked Viscount Anfular to convey?"

Viscount Brahms waved his arms and said: "The requirements put forward by Your Excellency Xiao Chen are indeed a bit excessive. It is impossible for Julio, the youngest son of Baron O'Farrell, to be deprived of his title of baronet, and it is impossible to be sent here. . This behavior is a provocation to the entire aristocratic system.”

Xiao Chen took a look at the other party. Viscount Brahms had firm eyes, decisive actions, and seemed to be filled with righteous indignation. He was really a diplomat with outstanding acting skills. However, this was of no use in front of Xiao Chen. Under the influence of the detection spirit, he could see the small light ball representing the opponent's spirit. The light ball remained stable as usual.

He said: "We have never regarded the nobles as our enemies. Whoever takes action against us first, we will definitely retaliate against him, and the person we retaliate against will pay the price. Alano is the price of the baron, Green Garden Town It’s the Duke’s price.”

"This has nothing to do with the current baron." Viscount Brahms argued.

Xiao Chen did not back down: "All these things started when Baron O'Farrell's family took action against us, so we and their family must have a settlement. The fact that the territory of Alano Town is already in our hands is no longer the case. If it changes again, the Duke cannot treat this place as a fief and give it to anyone else, otherwise it will be considered an act of war against the Tower of China. As for letting the Baron's son come over, it is just out of sympathy for a minor like him. It should be spent with family.”

"This is ridiculous, the King will not approve of this!"

"Then let's wait until the king has expressed his opinion. Maybe the king will think that this is very similar to the territories of the barons annexed by the Duke?" Both of them knew that the king would not care about, nor could he care about, territorial disputes in remote areas.

Viscount Brahms knew that the previous topic would not have any results. Neither side could give in on this issue. It was more like a prelude to bargaining. So he did not argue with Xiao Chen, but quickly got to the point: "I want to discuss the list of redeemed people and the ransom."

The Viscount handed Xiao Chen a list. Xiao Chen looked through it. The people he wanted to redeem included all the nobles and knight attendants. As for those civilian soldiers, they were undoubtedly abandoned. Xiao Chen understood that for many lords, the capture of civilians was a good thing. The loss of men meant a family that could not make ends meet, and the land that had to be sold in the end.

Xiao Chen took out a fountain pen from the Heart of the Traveler, thought about it, wrote a row of numbers on the list, and then handed it back to Viscount Brahms.

"What!!" Viscount Brahms jumped up in shock when he saw the numbers on the list. This time, Xiao Chen realized that his spiritual light ball was really beating there, no, it was shaking violently.
