Fei walked around the hotel. He knew that there were some things that he couldn't touch his hands, but now he had no other choice: "Etter, can you promise that no one else knows about this?"

"Sir, I can guarantee it!"

"Did you execute all those slaves?"

"Yes." Utter could see that An Fei was a little worried, and continued: "At that time, those slaves only dug up a big stone tablet. Before they could carry out the stone tablet, my people had already discovered the slave's body, and then After I got the news, I rushed over as quickly as possible."

"Are your people reliable?"

"I dare not say this, but they didn't know what was going on. I lifted the stone monument and found that there was a hole underneath. I asked everyone else to stay on top, and I went down alone." Utter stretched out his hand in his pocket Fumbling around: "I didn't dare to go too far, but I found this thing." After saying that, Utter handed the thing in his hand to An Fei.

"You don't have a space ring?" An Fei asked in surprise as he reached out and took it. He didn't know what a space ring was before. After he understood it, almost everyone around him had a space ring. At most, the difference was in quality. Seeing Erte's actions of digging around in his pocket, he was a little surprised and a little bit surprised. funny.

"Sir, are you making fun of me?" Utter showed a helpless wry smile: "I'm just a little peace officer."

"Violet City is so big, your salary shouldn't be very low." An Fei found that what he was holding was a gold coin with characters he didn't recognize engraved on one side, and a portrait of a bearded man on the other side.

"My salary is less than one gold coin, and my expenses are so high that I can't save any money at all."

"That's it." An Fei looked at Utter seriously, and with Dai Ruisi's family background, he gritted his teeth and put on the space ring. As a peace officer, Utter couldn't even buy an ordinary space ring. It shows that he is a relatively upright person who will not seek personal gain with power, and An Fei has developed a good impression of Erte. But comparing with each other, Anfei's salary to those dwarves was already several times that of Utter. No wonder those dwarves worked hard and behaved extremely submissively. At the same time, An Fei also thought it was a bit funny. It cost a lot? Only one gold coin a month, how big can it be

"Sir, do you recognize it?" Utter asked while looking at An Fei's face. He had already felt that An Fei lacked a basic understanding of some common sense things, so of course he had to ask clearly.

Sure enough, An Fei shook his head and said, "No, what is this?"

"It was a gold coin made by the Blanco dynasty, and Blanco was also the last king. He and Marisa had no children. What is lamentable is that Marisa has no attachment to power. After defeating the demons, soon He left the ministers in the court and disappeared alone, without even leaving any legacy. As a result, the Blanco dynasty immediately fell into chaos." Utter sighed: "In the war, many strong men with heavy troops appeared. They were willing to respect Blanco and obey Marisa's leadership, but this did not mean that they were willing to obey others, and the Blanco dynasty disappeared."

"There are gold coins like this in other fake mazes, right?"

"This...yes." Utter felt a little depressed. He didn't understand why An Fei always kept insisting on the word 'false': "Sir, we have to find clues ourselves to find out whether it is true or false, but this gold coin At least it proves that our underground labyrinth is related to Marissa."

"Stop building the Earl's Mansion for the time being." An Fei said slowly.

"You can't do this, sir!" Urt said urgently.

"Um?"

"Some people are already interested in the strange things that happened. If the construction is stopped, it will make them more suspicious!" Utter said with certainty: "The construction must not stop. What we have to do is to make slight changes and dig out the Change the place where the stone monument is to a garden and grassland, and then there will be no problem.”

"What you said makes sense." An Fei nodded.

"Haha..." Utter saw that An Fei agreed with his decision, and then he felt relieved and smiled: "I am here to congratulate you."

"Congratulate me for this?" An Fei tossed the coin in his hand: "I don't see anything to be happy about."

"According to the laws of the empire, all properties of unknown owners that have been disclosed but have not yet been discovered in a noble fiefdom belong to the owner of the fiefdom. In other words, the underground labyrinth belongs to the adults."

"Even if the empire has such a law, even if our maze is indeed the tomb of Queen Marisa, do you think I can hold the taboo scepter?" An Fei showed a faint smile.

"Your Excellency's doubts have nothing to do with me as the Sheriff. My duty is to assist Your Excellency." Utter lowered his head.

An Fei smiled: "You said you went into the cave alone? Aren't you afraid of any danger?"

"I have loved listening to stories about adventurers since I was a child. My teacher often said that danger and gain coexist. Be afraid of danger.

It can't be done either. "

"your teacher?"

"Have you forgotten, sir? I was with Mr. Appa when I was a boy."

"If you like adventure, why don't you become a mercenary?"

"I have no fighting spirit, and I can't release magic. Who would support a loser like me?" Utter said with a bitter smile.

"In my opinion, people without brains are trash." An Fei smiled: "Let's go, if we don't go out, they will think you are looking for an opportunity to plot against me."

"I'm a loser who wants to plot against you?" Utter shrugged his shoulders and followed An Fei.

"Utter, where did you spend your salary?" An Fei asked as he walked.

"I have nothing to spend. I don't have a wife or children. It's just that the people under me are having a hard time. It's not enough to support a family with that salary."

An Fei thought for a while, said no more, and strode outside the hotel. Susanna and others hurriedly came to greet them. Seeing that An Fei and Erte had been talking privately for so long, everyone was inevitably a little confused.

An Fei walked directly to the carriage, lifted the curtain and got into the carriage, and then shouted: "Suzanne, come here, Utter, come up too."

Utter was stunned and hurriedly walked to the carriage and stretched out his hand to help Susanna get into the carriage. This was a courtesy. Unexpectedly, Susanna didn't need his help at all. She just lifted her feet and appeared on the carriage inexplicably. Erte retracted his hand in embarrassment and climbed up.

"Do you still have gold coins?" An Fei asked Susanna.

"How many?"

"one hundred."

Susanna didn't say anything, she counted out one hundred gold coins one by one, and neatly placed ten small gold pillars on the carpet.

"Utter, take these gold coins."

Utter's expression changed on the spot, and he said anxiously: "Sir, what do you mean by this? It is only my duty to serve you, not just with money..."

"Don't talk nonsense to me." An Fei interrupted Utter's embarrassed protest: "This money is not for you. Go buy a space ring. Some things are only safe if you put them in a space ring. You know what I mean. ?"

Utter was stunned for a moment, his expression relaxed: "But..."

"If you want to misinterpret what I mean, you can misinterpret it, but you must accept the money." An Fei said slowly: "Okay, you go and make arrangements. I want to see Aroben tonight."

"He will be glad to see you, sir," Utter said softly.

"Well." An Fei thought for a while: "Get out of the car. Something just happened at the Earl's Mansion, and you came over to talk to me for such a long time. It's inevitable that you will arouse suspicion. Don't delay any longer."

"Okay." Utter looked at An Fei with a complicated look for a moment, lowered his head and slowly put the gold coins in his pocket. If An Fei had a hint of arrogance, Utter would definitely turn around and leave. He would not accept a single gold coin, but although An Fei looked rude, his expression was very sincere, and everything that came out of those clear and bright eyes was goodwill. In the end, Erte had to violate the rules he had set for himself. the rule of.

Unfortunately, one hundred gold coins is very heavy, and Utter has no experience in this area. He just stood up to say goodbye, but his pocket was already torn, and the gold coins fell to the carpet with a splash, rolling around.

Susanna couldn't help but burst into laughter. Utter squatted down in embarrassment and collected the gold coins, and some gold coins playfully got into Susanna's lower body. Utter couldn't reach out, and the smile on his face was awkward and awkward. have no choice.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time in Erte's life that he had 'accepted a bribe', but he learned a tragic lesson. It is estimated that he will never accept a bribe again in the future.

An Fei suppressed his laughter. He couldn't speak, and he would laugh out loud when he opened his mouth. However, Susanna had laughed enough, and stood up very understandingly, collecting the gold coins in front of and behind her and An Fei.

"Amon, come up here." An Fei finally managed to control his emotions and shouted.

Black Eleven immediately jumped on the carriage. When he entered the door, he saw a pile of gold coins and was stunned.

"Send these to Utter's house."

"Oh." Black Eleven said nothing nonsense, squatted down and grabbed a few handfuls, and all the gold coins disappeared.

"Utter, do you know the purpose of the space ring this time?" An Fei said with a smile.

"I know, I know." Utter said without daring to raise his head.

"Amon, please take care of yourself and don't let Appa know about us, do you understand?"

"He has a problem?" Black Eleven was shocked at the time. In order to better cooperate with his colleagues, he had selectively told what he knew about An Fei's history. If Apa had a problem, An Fei's warning It's obviously too late.

"No problem, don't let him know." An Fei winked at Erte, who lowered his head. "Understood."
