One Eyed Monster

　　 Liuli City’s Deputy Chief of the Guards Court Estef received a greeting letter recently. This greeting letter was delivered to him through Ronaldo’s mailbird system. Compared with the postman, the mailbird system is surprisingly fast. This kind of speed makes many postmen worry about their future. Birds do not need to ask the empire for salary.

　　 But the veteran Estov knows that the postman will not be laid off for a while, because the birds used in the post-bird system are not ordinary sparrows after all. Those who can't bear the hard work of the Queer who are everywhere are just like not all people can be postmen. The birds used in the Mailbird system are things made by alchemists, and it is impossible to have alchemists surrender such things without enough gold coins. Therefore, this kind of mail bird system is just a new thing that can be afforded by powerful or rich organizations. It is better for ordinary people to pick up a pen and write white and black letters and paste the envelope to find the postman.

　　 Estoff twisted open the high-end letter paper sent by the mail bird, and habitually squinted his eyes. After so many years of unexciting life, he has forgotten many things, but some things are still engraved in his mind. Those things are like blood flowing in the body. Once they are forgotten, it seems that the flow of blood is resisted and feels uncomfortable.

　　 Smoking, squinting, and betting on luck, these are the habits of Estov’s blood.

　　 A smile appeared at the corner of Estoff's mouth, and it seemed that the content of this letter was nothing boring.

This letter was sent by the mail bird of the Rhonedu Postbird system. At first, Estov thought it was an order from the President of the Rhonedu Guardian Emondo, but when you think about it, he found that he was nothing but an order. Vice President, orders of this kind of thing will only be communicated to the President, and his Vice President can only run errands.

　　 This letter is indeed not an official letter sent by Chief Emmento, this letter is a greeting letter, and it is a greeting to Esteve alone, a greeting from Ronadu.

　　The person who wrote the letter is Alpha Fran, the predecessor of Lord Barbasa, the mayor of Liuli. Lord Alphafuran is now in the road department of Ronadu, and it has been a long time since he wrote back to greet old friends.

　　 Estef had a very good relationship with Alfa Forran. When Alfa Forran received the call from the Governor of Rostov, he wanted to bring Estef with him, but Estoff refused his request. Estef said that he was already connected to Liuli City, and he really didn't want to change.

　　 Estoff has his own set of survival philosophy, and Alpha Furlan did not insist on it, but after leaving his second hometown where he has struggled for so many years, Alpha Furlan still misses it a bit. So Alpha Forlan turned all this thoughts into letters, and the feelings of thoughts in these letters were only confided to his friend Estov in Lili City.

　　 "My old friend, life in the capital city is relatively depressing. Every day there are people behind your heels urging you to move forward. Compared to Liuli City, life does have a sense of urgency..."

　　 "My friend, the steam car is really a magical object. After you see it with your own eyes, you will find that this object can really change the empire..."

　　 "My old friend, the pressure on the capital is really great. The governor is contending with the stubborn forces alone. The road to reform is really full of thorns, but the prospects are bright. Everyone should fight for this empire..."

　　……

　　 Alfa Forlan wrote many letters to Estef. These letters either talked about what happened in Ronadu, or talked about some kind of nostalgia for the brisk life in Liuli City. Estef always smiled at one of these letters. His life was dominated by smoking, squinting, and gambling. For the time being, he couldn't put in other things. His reply to Alpha Fran is also very simple. Either send some tobacco or a painting to his old friend. In short, he will not narrate a lot of words on the letter paper like his old friend. That kind of thing is too troublesome, it is really a bit difficult for him as a fighter.

　　 And he always sent letters through the postman, and every time it was delivered to Alpha Forlan’s hands, it had been a little half a month. At that time, Lord Forran had released many mail birds for him...

　　 This time Master Fran wrote again. It has been a month since the last time. This frequency has been considered for a long time for frequent letters to Master Fran.

　　 What new things does Lord Forlan have to mention in his letter this time? Or does Lord Fran have to feel the hardships of reform? When Estoff saw Alfa Forlan's signature, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He had regarded reading these letters as his new habit. Compared with the old habit of smoking, squinting and gambling on luck, although the new habit is not so fixed in time, it brings him the same inner comfort.

　　 An old friend’s letter is a greeting from not far away, no matter whether the old friend complains or is happy~www.ltnovel.com~ he is sincerely pleased.

　　 But today's letter made Estoff's previous smile gradually disappear, replaced by a serious face.

At the beginning of the letter, there was still a question of warmth and concern. There is nothing special about it. Estef had seen it many times before. Afterwards, the Lord Fran felt that the reform of the governor was not easy, and even the governor’s own son was regarded as Of course, this shouldn’t surprise Estov. After all, he had just come into contact with the protector of the son-in-law a few days ago. According to his opponent’s judgment, the son-in-law would not be in any danger; the last part of the letter mentioned Black Crow, the dark organization that the empire is famous for actually started to pay attention to Gulu Mountain. Alpha Foran did not mention too much in the letter, but just conveyed the Governor's curiosity, why this empire has never noticed Gulu Mountain. Being watched by the black crow, I hope Estov can explore it and dispel everyone's doubts.

It is this search that makes Estef's face grim. Estef has not been to Gulu Mountain. It can be said that he knows more about Gulu Mountain than any other person, but he does not want to mention it to others. Mountains, and always avoiding that place deliberately, in the eyes of others, he is trying to forget that mountain.

　　 It seems that the mountain that the empire has never paid attention to has brought him more painful memories...

　　 Of course, he alone knows the secret.

　　 Estef frowned after reading Alpha Fran's letter. I don't know if the word Gulushan brought back his bad memories or Fran's old friend's entrustment made him embarrassed. In short, his expression was very stern, so severe that it made people feel depressed.

　　 After a moment of frowning and contemplation, Estef suddenly picked up paper and pen, and wrote back a letter to his old friend for an unprecedented time...
