Monday, please give me a stable recommendation vote.
In addition, I want to push the Edelweiss pipe, although I really think his enthusiasm will not last long, but everyone should be
/book/******1.aspx Leader of the Demon King in Another World
"I heard that." The dwarf obviously did not notice the change in his companion's expression. In fact, most of his eyes were wandering on the shaking immortal 'fruit' of the waitress not far away, and he could not tell at all.
"Where did you hear it?" Edward's brows frowned a little tighter.
The attack was not particularly covered, but it was not very popular. As long as he was willing, he could get relevant information from the case records of the city guards. Among the general public, some people may attack several refugees.
The matter of a mage apprentice is regarded as a topic of discussion after dinner. In such a big city, the spread of such gossip will not be very slow.
But will it be accurate to this level? Even the name is known?
If so, then this matter will be much more troublesome than expected
"I told him, Mr. Edward." A man replied, very close to the dwarf,—in fact, from the beginning, he seemed to have sat at the table next to him, and at this moment he was just turning his face.
His slightly fat body was wearing a brown embroidered robe with good fabrics, but it was just a little expensive linen, and he looked like he was chatting boredly or focusing on the sings of the bards in this hotel.
There are not many differences among ordinary people, but the pipe that was holding a wisp of blue smoke was floating in his mouth, but it was carved with a good piece of jade, with complex patterns and lush green.
His appearance also looks ordinary. Although his face is covered with wrinkles like a knife and a very beautiful beard. He seems to have experienced many vicissitudes, but it is hard to remember deeply, only the light gray pair
The eyes are bright and flickering...but these sharp edges are enough to show that this person is not an ordinary person
Edward's eyes shrank, but did not ask questions like "Who are you and how do you know me" as usual
"Sorry for disturbing your conversation, but please see the sincerity of the old man, I, don't be surprised." The old man smiled and turned his chair to himself, sat at their table, but paused
The other party's unsurprising silence seemed to make him feel a little embarrassed: "Young man, you don't seem surprised?"
"Surprised? Surprised at your appearance? Or did you grasp my whereabouts?" Edward held the wine glass in his hand: "It is not particularly difficult to control a person's whereabouts, although Romanty is a big city,
However, as long as there are some people, it can be done easily, especially for someone who has not yet learned teleportation. With the power you have, there may be some simpler methods, such as the prophecy magic performed by a priest?
”
"Do you know my identity?" The old businessman turned his head, his expression still calm.
"Just guessed it," Edward smiled, paused, and he said, "You must be Lisa Linobili's father, the parents of Linobili's family?"
"I guessed it right." The old man nodded: "But it seems that it's not just that."
"Actually nothing," Edward continued: "You are a very successful businessman who controls a lot of business paths around Romanty, but besides this normal business, you may still have it.
More industries and more identities”
"Very correct" the old man nodded and said
"It seems to be your expectations," Edward said
"Why am I surprised? For a powerful figure who can easily escape from many enemies, a young wise man who can enter the Academy of Magic, if he relies on his previous contact with my subordinates, my appearance, and those who have been before.
It's strange that I can't guess my identity in conversation. "The old man slowly spit out a mouthful of blue smoke: "I like to talk to smart people because it will save a lot of time."
"I'm not a smart person, a smart person wouldn't be found so easily by others." Edward shook his head: "And, I don't know why you have to spend time coming to such a place to meet me... I want to
, Could it be that I asked me to stay away from your daughter, right?"
"Of course not," the old businessman shook the pipe in his hand. The stormy smoke covered half of his face, leaving only the hazy smile: "You must have known for a long time that my daughter is not an ordinary little girl either.
What's more, you helped us a lot without compensation before. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my daughter would have encountered a lot of trouble and it was not just her, but some, well, my friend, thanks you.
Only by helping one's righteous help will you escape from danger."
"It's just a coincidence, not to mention that I have received the corresponding reward, so it's not a good help." Edward ignored this small compliment: "This reason is not worth your labor."
"How can some reward be compared with life? But it seems that if I don't say something like a reason, you seem to be ready to keep someone from thousands of miles away?" The old man smiled and spit out a wisp of blue
Smoke: "Well, I can give you a reason, but before that, Mr. Edward, I want to hear what you think of the half-elves"
"Half-elves? In this situation, how many of the opinions I expressed are my true thoughts?" Edward smiled.
Edward doesn't know much about half-elves, actually
Although most of the half-elves now make a living in the kingdom of mankind, they are an absolute minority - they are never able to integrate into every race, they always seem out of place, sensitive, suspicious and withdrawn.
Due to natural race reasons, half-elves have always maintained a loose social structure: they are neither united as elves and dwarves, nor do they have absolute numerical advantages like humans. They live in human society with loose structure and social status.
Not high, many people rely on odd jobs to support their families, which can be said to be a living under someone else's roof
Therefore, the social status of half-elves is always low. In fact, because of their embarrassing identity, they usually do not get any land. When some handicraft workshops look for employees, they will naturally look for people in their race.
After all, it is easy to communicate, so it is poor, and always surrounds the half-elf.
So, in order to survive, they betrayed their last capital: life and body men become robbers, women become prostitutes... The social status of half-elves is declining, and humans are even more distrustful of half-elves and half-elves and are less likely to get the right
The fair treatment of the half-elves has begun to revolve around the path of anti-socialism, and the vicious cycle,
However, Edward didn't want to make these general statements:
"Although many people criticize the various problems of half-elves, as far as I know, half-elves inherit the wisdom of the elves, their appearance, elegance and agility, and their strong fertility and adaptability and lifespan of humans. They were originally completely based on common sense
It is a superior race that can surpass two matrilines. If they can have their own ethnic group, they may actually be more suitable to become the masters of the mainland than humans."
"It's really rare... It's so rare that it's surprising, Mr. Edward." The wrinkles on the old businessman's face became denser. He put down the long pipe in his hand and patted it lightly twice: "It's rare to hear a human being able to say it
This is what...just and objectively, especially a person who has no connection with the half-elves, and what is even more rare is that you are still so young."
"I just happened to know something...but the next thing I guessed was a bold one. I thought, you should be one of those volunteers who are determined to improve the living environment of the half-elves, and your organization must have obtained some
Achievement?"
"The organization you mentioned is called a hybrid... You have basically known our purpose and our achievements, to be ashamed, actually half-elves can get it now, with the fact that we established this forty years ago
Compared to the organization, it was only a little bit. The old man picked up his pipe again and buried his face in the light blue smoke. However, Edward noticed that the other party's tone had some respectful words in his tone.
"But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with me?"
"No, it should be said that it's a bit related"
"A person who is friendly to half-elves, even sympathetic, is also the object of our unity, and your actions are in line with this, so we can nominate you as our guest minister... not a formal position, nor
Under most of the rules, but can call some of the resources and people in the meeting. The old man blinked: "In addition, although I have no other skills, fortunately I have a little asset. I heard that you are studying in the Masters College.
, I guess there must be many needs... If you need it, you might as well speak. I think it should be no problem if you have a few thousand gold coins."
In fact, Edward is not short of gold coins. Some of the weapons he has made now, as well as copied magic handouts, can also make up the amount if sold. After all, items suitable for combat are very expensive.
But on the other hand, the old guy said that his connections were wide, but Edward was a little moved. After all, the troubles that might be caused by the hybrid blood will grow, so he didn't need to consider, but he wanted to find something, a huge and
An organized group is obviously much simpler than a person who is rushing around. With his current strength, there is an organization behind it to rely on, so you must always be more at ease.
"Okay" After a brief thought, he said, "The experience of the half-elves is indeed enough to make people sympathize. Then, I will see if I can do my best. However, I am not interested in it.
Those who obey orders waste time,"
Edward does not reject treating others with courtesy and betrayal to others... But if virtue cannot be convinced, he has to use a stick and use a stick, and he must never be ruthless.
Cut the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze will grow again
Facing a large guild, his little mage apprentice naturally did not come to the door and beat him up all the powers. According to Edward's original idea, he naturally used the right way to restrain himself, for example, with the help of the Lansendall Church
Powers from the side, or using the identity of a mage to mobilize the city defense force to organize an encirclement and suppression
But he also knows that both methods have certain difficulties in implementing them.
The paladin's heads are too rigid. They are not unable to act. But before taking action, they must have some evidence. Just doubt cannot let them take action. Even if they know that the other party is doing evil behind a wall, they
You have to send someone to negotiate first before you can rush in and arrest someone
What's more, if they have swept away, all the so-called stolen stolen goods will be confiscated, which is unacceptable to Edward.
And the city guards...
Such a place can exist, naturally, it is caused by peace with the local government. Under the deep water, there is a mixed sphere of influence hidden. Without a certain force, the city defense force will never give a little cooperation even if Edward led a group of paladins to attack each other.
The old nest may have to be lost, and even the city defense forces will come to block it.
There are gangs and gangsters in any era and society. But at the same time, these guys cannot compete with soldiers and police. After stripping away the legitimacy of the regime, the latter is the biggest **
"What you want...?"
Watching the young man leave thoughtfully, the businessman sprayed a mouthful of light blue smoke and began a quiet long exam
It was not until the last spark in his pipe that he sighed long, stood up and walked into a small door on the side of the room.
The confident cunning on the face of the elderly businessman was gone, and replaced by piety and awe... Awe occupied the vast majority and he took a deep breath before pushing open the door in front of him, and after entering, he tightened it.
Close, then kneel carefully, bury your head between your arms
"My Majesty... Your will has been implemented. Although he is a little suspicious, he will not have much doubt yet."
In front of him, a slender figure sat on the windowsill, holding his cheek with one hand staring at the silver arc moon in the sky as if within reach.
The dim starlight surrounded her, illuminating the white clothes, which shone brightly like fireflies, drooping down, covering her tender face in the shadows and unable to see clearly, only the sharp and thin ones
The ears were exposed between the blonde hair, and the breathing was slight trembling
In the room, a bouquet of incense was lit in the stove in the shadow of the moonlight. The smoke and dust rising from the incense were constantly changing like magical powers. Sometimes it gathered into a rose, sometimes it formed a dragon, and finally turned into
Make a star with seven light dots, and then gradually disperse into a shadow like a veil, making the whole space dreamy...
Until the hourglass on the table quietly leaked a scale, the thin cherry-colored lips opened slightly, making a low murmur
"Whether it's excuses or temptations... Next, we must try our best to meet his requirements... and find a way to keep him by my side."
This sound is erratic and low, as if it comes from afar, but to the listener, it is more than ten thousand pounds
"Yes...but...my Majesty, this is not easy. I mean... this person...he is not an ordinary mercenary. He has considerable resistance to temptation. My ability may not be enough to control me.
The situation" The merchant's voice came from his arms, trembling, dull and funny: "My Majesty, please forgive your people for being foolish. Can you tell me all the special value of this person... This I... We are also fine
Understand the direction of action. After all, he is just a human being. Before your power is known to more compatriots, we..."
"No need to be so careful"
The girl's eyes turned back from the silver moon in the sky, sweeping over the kneeling businessman. Her eyes were so dark in the bright moonlight, as if they were infinitely deep caves. As long as they looked at it, they would make
The soul is lost: "It's just that there is a very interesting toy on that little ghost, but it's a bit troublesome to get it, so I have to get it myself. As long as I have a period of contact with him, there should be no problem.
It's not a big deal...Okay, you go down."
The merchant exited the room with an amnesty, and the girl's eyes turned to the moon in the sky again. After a long time, she chuckled: "I just thought that the thing had disappeared from the multiverse, but I didn't expect it to be restored.
There is still...Okay, then let me control it, and by the way, control what it represents..."
"Hmm? Don't hurt him? Haha, you seem to like this human very much... Don't worry, if possible, I don't want things to be too exaggerated... Okay, I promise... I won't give it to you
He causes harm, and if necessary, I will solve the troubles around him..."
Someone once told Edward that the entire continent has entered an era where all professions have their own organizations.
The most obvious thing is that the wide range of joint organizations - the guild is under different names such as "fraternity", "basic friendship", "association", and "union", whether in cities or villages, it is spread throughout the entire city.
Not only merchants, crew members, craftsmen, painters, teachers, actors, hunters, and farmers in mainland China have their own guilds, and even beggars and executioners have their own guilds.
