Chapter 59: Aftermath (1)

Shortly after Robert and Brutus left the Administrative Officer's office, Administrative Officer Papyria stood by the window, focusing on the white birds passing by in the distance.

He asked, as if to himself: "What do you think of that Brutus?"

The voice that answered him came from the corner on the right side of the room: "But from this point of view, it is nothing special, but since the Spear of Laxius chose the Grisian, it shows that he still has some abilities."

Sitting in the corner on a chair with soft seats, a young man lifted off the invisibility cloak covering his body: "Seriously, I think you should consider changing your office supplies. This chair is really uncomfortable."

Administrative officer Papyria replied calmly: "This place is not as good as the provincial capital. In this copper lattice, we are divided into three parts."

"Ha, that's right." The young man smiled nonchalantly, "After all, Tatertuo Town can only be regarded as a small town, and it has just experienced a fire."

"If the local inspectors sent by the provincial government are like you and need someone to remind you of the situation you are in from time to time, then my idea of ​​getting rid of my status as a chess piece will become even stronger."

"Then the administrative officer may be joking. I'm just here to assist you in handling the work here. But after this incident, maybe we will work together for a while."

"We don't need to talk about these things anymore." Administrative Officer Papyria sat back in his seat, "I just hope you will mind your own hands and don't interfere with my work."

"Of course not. How could I dare to offend a member of the Papyria family." The inspector replied with a smile, "But what needs to be done in accordance with the requirements of the authority still has to go through the process."

"This is natural. I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

The exchange of interests between the administrative officer and the censor in the office naturally has nothing to do with Brutus. Now he still has to worry about what he has to do in the future.

"I finally figured it out. The political affairs officer who co-wrote me is not going to let me get citizenship." Now he wanted to complain to Robert next to him, but then he thought about the crowd in the city hall, and Robert was also from the political affairs officer's side.

People, so forget it...

But there are some questions he still has to ask now: "Robert, I'm just curious how I can possibly do something that Violet can't handle?"

"Of course you can't have it." This was the first thing Robert said after entering the office. "The people behind the scenes are well hidden. Divination is no longer reliable. We can only conduct investigation patiently."

"So this is what I'm going to do this time?"

"I think so, but -" Robert hesitated, his eyes scanning the surrounding environment.

After they walked out of the city hall and returned to the tavern, Brutus resumed the topic: "But what?"

"This is the first time I know that Administrative Officer Papyria doesn't like the Gris, or maybe he simply doesn't like you."

"It seems that this is not my illusion. It turns out that you think so too." Brutus felt that this was outrageous. How could anyone let others work to death for the first time they met, and now it is really like that?

one.

"How can one person complete the tasks he assigned? If he is this kind of person, then whether I can get citizenship after completing these tasks is a question."

"I will help you find a solution later." Robert promised Brutus, "But in exchange, you have to tell me one thing."

"Tell me, if I can answer." If the price is too high, Brutus would rather give up this opportunity directly. Anyway, it is not impossible to live as a free man.

Robert stared into Brutus's eyes and asked: "Since the information we have learned is certain that eternal life exists, then resurrection from the dead is naturally very reasonable. What I am curious about is what a person who has been resurrected from the dead can do.

Tell me whether his soul will still belong to his original self after resurrection."

"This may be a philosophical question of yours." Brutus thought for a few seconds before replying, "I think a person's cognition is firstly based on his own memory, and secondly based on other people's cognition of him. People are social in a sense.

A person will exist in society only if he exists in a social circle."

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion. After all, I have never seen - well, yes, I have never seen anyone resurrected from the dead." Having said that, he really didn't seem to care about his appearance, although he also didn't.

For the sake of suitable reflection tools.

As long as you are not ugly anyway, otherwise how could you have no social difficulties like now...

Robert fell into deep thought, and Brutus couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking. He couldn't be thinking about someone to resurrect, right?

After a while, Robert raised his head and smiled: "I'm sorry, I just suddenly had some vague ideas, and I was a little lost in thought."

"It doesn't matter. By the way, do you know where Violet is? After all, I still have to-" Brutus shrugged, "You also know, it's hard work."

"When she needs it, she will naturally find you." Robert always felt that they seemed to have forgotten something, but suddenly he realized something, "Have we forgotten Juno?"

Brutus looked around, and it seemed that this was the case: "I didn't seem to see her in the hall of the city hall. Shouldn't she be waiting for us there? Logically speaking, she would be there when we went downstairs.

You should follow us."

"This is troublesome." Robert covered his face, "Why do you have to worry about this and that for your students? It's really troublesome."

"Maybe she's looking for her friends." Brutus estimated. He happened to go out of town to see the guides, and by the way, he also looked for Juno. "Are you coming with me?"

"Oh, let's go. But before that, we have to go to Will's house first."

"Excuse me, is there anyone else in his family?"

"He died on the way home," Robert explained. "The city hall informed me of Will's death first, and I had to tell his father."

Brutus understood, he nodded and followed Robert out of the tavern.

The corpses on the street have been gathered together and prepared to be transported outside the city for burning. The ruins of the burned-out buildings have also been barely cleared, but the sound of a certain area collapsing can still be heard from time to time.

Most of the civilians were silently cleaning up the ruins, and their faces and bodies were already covered in black. The guards in the guard camp were sitting on the stone road to rest. They had been busy all night and did not even close their eyes.

Brutus looked at the devastated scene and could only be thankful that the place where he lived was not affected by the fire. He sighed silently and followed Robert's footsteps to bring others the news they least wanted to hear right now.
