Sometimes, it is not a good thing to jump right into the topic, such as now. Because this usually means that the matter is very important and has a great impact.
Brutus immediately suspected that Robert was lying to him. He only promised a few words of advice, but in the end it seemed as if he had given them all to others.
But no matter how much you complain, it's useless. The top priority is to decide whether to answer or not.
But before that, maybe you can still do Tai Chi...
But it is a pity that before Brutus could open his mouth, the political officer Papyria choked off the possibility of Tai Chi.
"I personally suggest that you answer this question head-on and just talk about your views."
Whenever the word "whatever" is mentioned, one usually has to choose the word carefully... Brutus found this kind of torture.
He quietly observed Robert with the corner of his eye, and found that Robert was sitting on the chair without any movement, just like a wooden man.
"I wonder what the Administrative Officer wants to hear?" Brutus felt that there is still room for detours. If it really can't be done, it's better not to say it. Otherwise, if today's words are spread, it will not be fun to offend a bunch of nobles.
Already.
After all, no one knows whether the nobles are very magnanimous and do not care about free people like themselves.
Administrative Officer Papyria and Brutus looked at each other with no expression on their faces: "I think I'd better not make it difficult for you, a Grisian, and just talk about the nobles who have turned to the dark side."
"It seems that you nobles in Gris rarely do such stupid things. I want to hear how you do it."
Brutus felt that this problem was even more difficult. As a fake, he didn't know what the nobles of Gris were like, so he had to bite the bullet and ignore other things.
"I don't know those nobles very well. I'm just a citizen of a small city-state in Gris. I was lucky enough to be born into a relatively wealthy family and studied with a wise man for a while."
Thanks to the notebook that mentioned some fragments of memories from time to time, Brutus could still fill in the details to make his experience sound more real...
"Oh? I wonder which wise man you are studying with?" The administrative officer became slightly interested in this matter and temporarily let go of the previous question.
"My teacher is not famous. He calls himself Anivar."
As for whether there is such a person, Brutus can't guarantee it. After all, it is very reasonable to conceal the real name by using one's own name.
The Administrative Officer Papyria recalled that he had no memory of the name Brutus mentioned. He was probably an unknown third-rate scholar. However, literate people were still rare in the Kingdom of Loma.
It is better to use such people in the right place as much as possible.
"Let's continue the topic just now." The administrative officer said.
Brutus sighed secretly. It seems that this matter still needs to be discussed, but fortunately, after the interruption just now, he got some ideas: "Master Administrative Officer, do you mean that nobles are also involved in this incident?"
"Although it is just a suspicion, there is indeed such a possibility." The administrative officer's tone was always calm, as if he was talking about a matter that had nothing to do with him. "What I can tell you in accordance with my authority is that there may be something wrong with this matter."
Some big nobles in the provincial capital are involved."
"Then what's the reason for doing this? I think they enjoy enough power."
"What is your view on eternal life?"
"It will be boring if you live for a long time, but I think - well, if there is such an opportunity, maybe I will seriously consider it." Brutus probably understood, "This does sound very attractive, although now
Most people can’t figure out what to do with such a long time.”
"Life is short." Administrative Officer Papyria stood up. He was taller than 1.7 meters, but his whole temperament was full of a sense of self-reliance. "Compared with decades of glory and wealth,
What does it mean to control endless years and hold power forever?"
Brutus feels that the current direction of chatting is very good. As long as he is not allowed to make his own comments, the possibility of getting into trouble will undoubtedly be much smaller.
"Does the Administrative Officer also want to do this?"
His question was a bit subtle and full of straightforward probing meaning.
Administrative Officer Papyria smiled: "If someone always holds the power of a country, this is not a blessing for the country. It is better to let the people who manage the country move around."
"Frankly speaking, I am also very interested in eternal life, but if I have to get my hands dirty to get it, then I will never make this choice."
"Mr. Brutus, I am happy to provide you with an opportunity." The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he returned to his previous serious expression. "This is a win-win opportunity. You will gain the citizenship of the kingdom and the opportunity to become a noble."
One of the tickets; and I will kick out those garbage nobles who suck the blood of the common people so that I can continue to realize my ambition."
"As long as this win-win situation does not mean that the Administrative Officer wins twice, then I think we can still agree." Brutus did not believe in these pie-in-the-sky pie, "But I think it would be better for us to talk about what we should do first."
Seeing that the conversation could continue, Administrative Officer Papyria nodded: "Of course I won't let you do anything too dangerous again. I wonder what your views are on urban planning?"
Does that mean it will still make me do some dangerous things? Brutus complained secretly.
"I can only say that I have seen a lot of them, but it is still a bit difficult for me to get started with design."
"That's enough. But you have to do more than that. I heard that you have good computing skills and you also need to provide corresponding help to the city hall..."
For the next half hour, Brutus was completely like an unlucky Party B, listening to Party A's various bizarre requests but not having the right to refuse.
Finally, after the Administrative Officer Papyria finished his request, Brutus couldn't bear it anymore: "Administrative Officer, you may think too highly of me. I definitely can't handle these matters alone."
.”
"Then there is also a simple one, you can choose one of the two."
Brutus now fully understood that he was forcing himself to do something too dangerous again: "I wonder what it is?"
"I heard you have a blessed weapon."
"Yes." Brutus recalled his experience. This matter could only be noticed by the city gate guards or the White Horse Chamber of Commerce.
"Then it's very simple. You just need to help the fortune teller Violet get rid of the necromancer lurking in the town. I heard that using blessed weapons is the best when facing dark creatures and magic."
"I would also like to add that during a state of emergency, no one has the right to refuse the call from the local city hall. In addition, the more things you solve, the greater the possibility of becoming a second-class citizen, and the reward is of course indispensable."
Brutus secretly sighed, it was this bad reason again, but at least it sounds like there are a lot of benefits to be gained this time, he just needs to hope that he is still alive to enjoy it...
