"Don't worry, we Luoma people don't play the trick of getting punished for words. We are still better than you Gris people." Robert put away the crystal ball and showed Brutus a smile that he thought was very kind.
Thank you so much... Brutus looked at Robert speechlessly.
"So what I said was heard?"
Robert nodded and shook his head: "That's not entirely true. Your curse words were not heard by others, otherwise you would not survive tomorrow in the hands of Violet."
"So, what is your identity? And Will -"
"Well, I used to be a flower and bird fortune teller, but now I'm no longer a fortune teller. I'm just a stargazer. I can also give some advice to the administrative officer."
"As for Will." Robert's expression dimmed slightly, "It's just like what was said before."
"What are your plans now?" Brutus was a little curious as to whether the nobles in the town and these strange magicians had made corresponding preparations.
"Your identity is not enough for me to tell you more information. But for some reason, at least one thing I can tell you is clear-" Robert moved Brutus with his right hand.
The kicked-open door closed, "You were already dead, Brutus."
Brutus was mentally prepared for this kind of thing, and asked calmly: "We might as well speak more clearly, Robert."
"In other words, the trajectory of fate can indeed be changed or even reversed, although I have only seen your case in all these years."
"How many years?" Brutus glanced at Robert and felt that the guy in front of him was in his forties.
"Twenty years."
"Then I can only say that an example is obviously not of reference."
Robert walked over and said: "I am not interested in your experience. After all, even if I ask, I can only get a fabricated answer. Brutus, we need you."
"Is it really okay for us to talk about these things in front of her?" Brutus looked at Juno, as if he realized that there were more than two people here.
"It doesn't matter, she is my new student."
"Violet too?" Brutus remembered what Violet had said to him before.
"Yes." Robert nodded, "We chose you for a reason. I personally think you have enough potential to change the current situation and the future."
"If you want to obtain citizenship or even become a noble, this incident may be a good opportunity."
Brutus felt that the bait was finally thrown out now, so he did not say a word, but waited patiently for Robert to continue speaking.
"Although in theory, free people only need to complete the task indicators set by the Adventure Guild to obtain citizenship, but very few people have done so in the past hundred years. Because even if they really do it, no matter how much property they have, they will still only be able to obtain citizenship.
It can be rated as Level 5.”
"For foreigners, the more common approach is to get a recommendation from a person with sufficient strength, and become a citizen after being assessed by the provincial inspector, so that they can cross the fifth level."
Brutus understood: "So Consul Papyria happens to be just that."
"And it happens that the background is relatively strong." Robert added meaningfully.
Brutus only thought about it for a few seconds, and then he readily agreed to join in cleaning up the current mess - there was no way, he couldn't be a free man without many rights all his life, and if he really wanted to do something, become a citizen and become a citizen.
It is obviously more advantageous to be as noble as possible.
Although you can also try other ways, when the rules of the game still have to be played, few people will give priority to directly flipping the table... and what are they going to do after flipping the table?
He has never thought so far ahead. Under the current circumstances, it is better to take it one step at a time.
"Since you agree, let's set off for the city hall." Robert looked at Juno, "You are coming with me, and I don't feel comfortable leaving you here alone now."
...
Outside the city hall, there were many guards under martial law. Brutus even saw a few citizen soldiers.
He has never been to the second floor of the city hall. He used to just walk around in the hall and leave directly after completing his goal. Of course, even if he wanted to come up before, he had no chance.
The two stood at the door of the Administrative Officer's office, while Juno was waiting for them in the hall.
Seeing Robert sorting out his clothes, Brutus hesitated for a moment, looked down at his clothes, and felt that there seemed to be nothing to sort out, so he didn't do anything.
After finishing arranging his clothes, Robert raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Please come in." A middle-aged male voice with a sonorous sound came from the office.
Opening the door, the two of them walked into the office.
Different from what Brutus had imagined, the decoration in the Administrative Officer's office was very simple, with a three-meter-long table common in Tatto Town. Stacks of documents were placed on both sides of the table, leaving only one in the middle.
A small space for office use.
There were several large wooden cabinets placed on the left wall. From the opening of a cabinet door, you could see that they were also filled with documents. On the right side were several potted plants, but Brutus did not recognize the names of these plants.
.
Administrative Officer Papyria sat on a hard wooden chair behind a long table, engrossed in reviewing the documents in his hands.
He said without raising his head: "Please sit down, both of you. Sorry, I don't have time to entertain you just yet. Please wait a moment."
Two chairs had already been set up on the side of the long table by the door, which seemed to have been specially prepared for them. The two of them sat upright on the wooden chairs, waiting for the administrative officer to finish reviewing the documents on the table.
Brutus glanced at the neatly arranged documents on the table. Although they were almost piled up into two hills, they did not reach the neck of the person sitting down. He was naturally curious about the contents of the documents, but he
Knowing what to see and what not to see quenches my curiosity.
He turned to observe Administrative Officer Papyria: he looked to be in his prime, but his hair was already a little gray, his back was very straight, his body could be considered very strong, his hands seemed strong, and there were several calluses on the fingers of his right hand.
After more than ten minutes, Administrative Officer Papyria finally finished processing all the documents, and then looked up at the two of them.
Brutus inexplicably felt a strong sense of scrutiny. He and the political officer looked at each other. The sharp eyes like an eagle made him almost want to escape from sight, but he still persisted with a salty heart.
The scalps continued to stare at each other.
The political officer looked at Brutus' slightly messy collar and frowned, but out of politeness he resisted the idea of asking the guy to straighten his collar.
"Andos Brutus?"
Brutus felt that the Advocate's voice had an inexplicable sense of majesty. It was rare to find someone who could bring such a feeling in a small town: "Yes, Administrative Officer Papyria."
"I know what you have done, and I am quite impressed. No more gossip, let's get straight to the point. What do you think of nobles?"
