An Fei and Chris Ding walked side by side along the path. Jiu Moluo Gesha followed with a dozen mercenaries from a distance. In fact, with An Fei's current strength, he didn't need anyone at all. He came to protect him, but Kumarajiva just didn't do what An Fei said. He thought that An Fei always walked around alone, which was inconsistent with his identity.
Everyone's style is different, and every country's style is also different. Neuinheim of the Ellison Empire likes to bring a large number of followers to show his power. Although with his strength, identity, There is no need to show off your status at all. The great magician Mike who was killed by An Fei was even more outrageous than Neuenheim. Those eight high-level swordsmen were the subordinates he had recruited from various places over the past ten years. Ernest's old enemy, the man named Jerofei The same is true for Ke's great swordsman. He not only likes to go around with a large number of followers, he also always brings his generals with him, cheering in front and behind.
In comparison, Juland always takes an aggressive offensive politically and militarily, but is much more low-key in his personal life, while Saul is more low-key than Juland, perhaps because of his teacher's subtle influence. , Chris Ding, Bravi and others are also very low-key. Strictly speaking, they are now considered a generation of young heroes. They need people, power, and status, even if each of them recruits dozens of people. No one can blame the entourage, but they are always used to doing their own things, not to mention the entourage, they don't even have maids to serve in daily life.
Of course, they may be following An Fei's lead. It is not an exaggeration to describe An Fei's current momentum with the word "Rising Sun", but his personal life is extremely simple. An Fei is not influenced by someone, but is a habit all year round. As a result. As the saying goes, who can lead what kind of soldiers? An Fei's every move will definitely have a binding force. An Fei is always easy to follow, who dares to lead a large group of people around
"Spring is coming." Chris Ding stretched out his hand and pulled up the branch. Small buds have grown on the branches.
"I said... Chris Ding!" The expression on An Fei's face was a little strange: "You talked about the magic school in the Holy City from ancient myths and legends, and the secrets of the Hidden Sword Principality. You even talked about the prostitutes in Baishan City. Okay, now we’re talking about the weather, what exactly do you want to say?”
"Don't be so mean." Chris Ding looked at An Fei with a smile. His smile was extremely charming. Because every time he smiles, the smile first blooms from his eyes, then the corners of his mouth, and finally reveals his white teeth. It is gentle and hearty, kind and indifferent: "We haven't talked together for a long time."
"As long as you are willing, we can chat until dawn." An Fei shrugged: "But I'm curious. What is it that makes you so worried? It's been going around, whether you are tired or not, I will be tired for you. .”
"You..." Chris Ding smiled and shook his head, then looked sideways. When Jiumorokosha saw An Fei and Chris Ding stopped, he also stopped in the distance with his mercenaries.
"Okay, let's continue chatting." An Fei looked at the night sky: "By the way, Chris Ding, tell the truth, have you ever fooled around with a prostitute in a bar?"
"Why... are you talking about this?" Chris Ding looked a little stunned.
"Don't you want to continue circling? I'll accompany you." An Fei chuckled: "Tell me the truth!"
"The number of times I went to the bar was very rare. I only remember two or three times, and I only drank."
"You are a gentleman." An Fei looked at Chris Ding with evil eyes: "Then when you didn't have any impulse?"
"What are you talking about...you guy!" Chris Ding looked a little embarrassed: "I don't have the energy to think about anything else. Everyone thinks that I have very good qualifications. I became a magician at a young age. In fact, I know that I My qualifications are not extraordinary. When I was young, in order to keep up with everyone else, I had to practice with all my strength. As I got older... I got used to it."
"When I asked you if you were impulsive, who asked about your qualifications?" He wanted to change the subject in front of An Fei. Chris Ding's skill is far from enough.
"Ahem...it seems...every man has impulses sometimes, right?"
"What should I do if I have the urge? Go to a bar?" An Fei always brings the topic to the bar.
"That's Bravi when I go to the bar." Chris Ding said angrily: "When I was in the Holy City, I practiced magic from morning to night. Where did I have time to go out and mess around? And as long as I enter meditation, my heart will It will calm down.”
"Nonsense? I don't agree with you! Appetite and sexual desire are the two major desires of human beings. This is normal. How can we use nonsense to define it? We are not ascetics of the Holy See. Let me tell you, go to a bar. It's normal." An Fei smiled and said, "Well, don't be embarrassed, I can help you. I'll go find Bravi tomorrow and ask him to take you with him when he goes to the bar again."
"Stop joking!" Chris Ding said softly: "If they are enemies, any means is not excessive, but they are just a group of poor people struggling at the bottom of society, there is no need to bully them."
"What you said is too strong. It's just a profession. Could it be that Bravi and the others go to the bar just to bully people? Think about it seriously, who is not pitiful? In order to have enough to eat, mercenaries have to use their own I'm going to fight the monsters for my life." An Fei said calmly.
"An Fei, don't you think those prostitutes are pitiful? If they can have enough food, warm clothes, and a worry-free life, which woman would be willing to be a prostitute? It's not that they themselves want to degenerate, but the world is forcing them to degenerate! And those slaves, they are more miserable than prostitutes, prostitutes at least have freedom, but slaves have nothing, not even the law protects them!" Chris Ding said slowly.
"You know how to pay attention to people's livelihood? Yes, yes, it does look like a monarch." An Fei laughed.
"No relationship." Chris Ding shook his head: "Many times, I prefer to look at problems from the perspective of an ordinary person, so that I can see things more clearly."
"I feel that you are very disgusted with the slavery system. If you can become the king, you will definitely take drastic action against this bad practice?"
"It's so far away that I never thought about it."
"Tell me about it. Anyway, I am idle now."
Chris Ding thought seriously: "I can't do anything."
"Why?"
"There are too many aspects involved. Every noble is a slave owner, and officials, businessmen, and even some civilians have also purchased slaves. Do I have to fight against a country by myself?" Chris Ding smiled: " If we must do it, we can only do it slowly and step by step. For example, if we amend the law and grant civilian status to the children of slaves, it will take a long time before the new law can be implemented. We will wait until society gets used to it before enacting it. The new law first ensured the personal safety of slaves and prohibited masters from killing slaves. Correspondingly, penalties were gradually implemented from light to severe. At first, whoever tortured and killed slaves would be fined. After a few years, when the people got used to it, they also added One is to impose a fine and be whipped at the same time. This gradually increases the punishment and improves the social status of the slave. If the opposition is too strong, it is necessary to retreat strategically or even repeal the new law in exchange for broad understanding and wait for the opportunity. " So complicated? "An Fei frowned.
"It's more than complicated?" Chris smiled and said: "This kind of thing is not something that any monarch can do by himself. It will take several generations or more than a dozen generations of hard work. And it is very likely to give up halfway. That's why I said, I don’t know how to do anything, so instead of wasting energy and time on this, it’s better to do something else. Haha... don’t talk about this, we really need to change our bad habits... I can’t finish talking about it until dawn.”
"Radical thinking, conservative action, perfect." An Fei smiled, praising Chris Ding. But he was warning himself in his heart. No matter it was before or now. Politics is not his own field, even compared to the inexperienced Chris Ding. He is far inferior, so the best choice is not to reach out in this direction from the beginning to the end.
"Where is perfection in this world?" Chris Ding smiled bitterly: "An Fei, why did you suddenly talk about this? Did... who said something?"
"Yes." An Fei nodded: "Brawi quietly told me that you scolded them yesterday. He also said that you were very scary when you lost your temper."
"I knew it." Chris Ding sighed softly: "Has Bravi told you why?"
"Say it." An Fei pondered for a moment: "I understand you, but...what you did is a little too much."
Kristin fell silent. In fact, the matter had nothing to do with Bravi. When Bravi, Ozguch, and Tagore went to the bar to have fun, Tagore fell in love with a barmaid, but Tagore was a half-orc, half-orc. The status of orcs and barbarians is very low, and the barmaid did not know Tagore's identity and ignored Tagore. Tagore was treated coldly every time he challenged her, and felt very uncomfortable, so he called the bar owner over. The owner was also very angry and slapped the maid several times without explanation. Now the maid quit, crying and saying After making some insults to the orcs, Tagore couldn't keep it off his face, so he went up and gave the maid a kick. Tagore was tall and strong. Even though An Fei had punished the troublemaking mercenaries with iron-blooded methods before, Tagore did not dare to make a big deal out of it. , but his power was not something that an ordinary woman could withstand, and the maid was kicked to death on the spot.
Chris Ding happened to be passing by the bar and heard the roar coming from the bar, so he went in to take a look. After learning the whole story, he, who was always gentle and gentle, flew into a rage and threw Oz in front of everyone. Juqi, Tagore and others all scolded him, and even Bravi did not run away. Afterwards, they also called Ye over and ordered him to deal with the matter seriously.
An Fei was silent for a moment and said softly: "You scared them by losing your temper. Tagore didn't dare to come to see me. Tobravi came to intercede. In fact... Tagore is different from ordinary mercenaries. After all, he is the number one Those who seek refuge with us can only be punished lightly, and their dignity must be taken into account. Besides, the bar maid is also at fault, how can she insult Tagore's bloodline in public."
"An Fei, I remember you said that there are no rules and no rules!" Chris Ding said firmly: "How can we let them do whatever they want! This time it was Tagore's good luck. The barmaid just passed out. If If something really happened, I would have asked Ye to put him in jail!"
An Fei smiled and avoided the current topic: "Brawi also said... you may have held it in for too long, so your temper seems a bit grumpy. If..."
"Let him die!" Chris Ding said angrily: "You, me and Bravi, they all have their own habits and methods. As long as they don't violate discipline, I won't bother to interfere with them. Likewise. , and I don’t want anyone to interfere with me.”
"I think what Bravi said makes sense." An Fei said with a smile: "Chris Ding, you are not young anymore, it is time to solve your own life-long issues, how about it? Is there anyone you like?" "
"Do you know why West and Glendon haven't gotten married yet?"
"I know Glendon, he likes Niya. And Niya... haha, I don't know about West."
"For us princes, marriage is the most precious card, and it can usually only be used once. Who dares to throw the card away casually?" Chris Ding showed a bitter smile: "Even if I have no intention of fighting for the inheritance, this kind of thing is not something I can decide on my own. I can only wait. Waiting for my father's arrangements, or... waiting for an opportunity. So... An Fei, I have always envied you and Susanna. You can make the decision for yourself, cherish this relationship, and you must not let her down!"
An Fei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Finally we have come to the point of today? Chris Ding!"
"Alice's behavior today is very abnormal," Chris Ding said lightly.
"oh?"
"Alice is very scheming. Since I got to know her, I have almost never seen her act abnormal or lose her temper. And the few times I found her, they all have something to do with you, especially today. This can already prove a lot of things. ." Chris Ding said slowly: "You are my friend. So is Susanna. I don't want to see any trouble between you. Do you remember? When Susanna came together with us, what did we have? Nothing. No! If it weren’t for Susanna’s sword, how many of us would be alive today!”
An Fei laughed.
"What do you mean by laughing? Are you disapproving of my opinion?" Chris Ding said with some dissatisfaction.
"Worry." An Fei shook his head: "Do you know the biggest difference between Susanna and Alice?"
"Alice is very smart, you can even say. She is the smartest woman I have ever seen! Compared with Susanna, her mind is too simple. "Can intelligence determine everything? An Fei smiled: "Besides, I don't think what you said is correct." "
"Then what do you think is the biggest difference between them?"
"Suzanne lived a pure and sincere life. Sometimes, she would even make decisions without thinking. In the eyes of many people, this is a sign of Susanna's immaturity, but for me, I like this kind of Susanna. . Alice does things carefully, and no matter what she does, she has to calculate. What is she calculating? Gains and losses! To put it bluntly, it is interests! And the reason why I believe her now is because she is calculating all of us. Benefits." An Fei said softly: "If one day, I become a useless person, or do something that makes people and gods angry, and become the enemy of the entire continent, and everyone hates me, hates me, and insults me, At that time, there is only one Susanna who is still willing to stand by my side! As for Alice...even if she says she can, do you believe it? Do I believe it? Does she believe it herself? With Susanna, I know that in this life I will I will never be alone again, no matter whether I go far away or stay in this whirlpool and struggle, she will stay with me and never leave me, life or death!"
"An Fei, I didn't expect you to be such a pessimistic person." Chris Ding frowned: "This kind of thing will never happen."
"The point I'm talking about is not whether something will happen, but the difference between them after it happens." An Fei smiled: "You don't understand my feelings. For me, Susanna is irreplaceable."
"The world is always changing silently, and people are also changing. Besides...since you said so, it proves that you are also aware of Alice's..."
"So what?" An Fei said lightly: "Let's take you for example. You punished Bravi and the others in public. The bar maid is grateful to you and is willing to marry you. Will you accept it?"
"Of course not!" Chris Ding shook his head and said, "But this is two different things from what we are talking about."
"I can't do the same thing." An Fei said softly: "Susanna has always been protecting me. Now it's my turn to protect her. I won't let her get any harm."
An Fei rarely expressed his true feelings in front of others. Chris Ding was shocked and he was silent for a moment. Zhanyan smiled and said, "I'm just worrying about it."
"hehe…"
"Suzanne should be waiting for you." Chris Ding looked up at the small building where An Fei lived. The lights were still on in the small building: "I won't go up and disturb you."
"Have you finished saying what you want to say?" An Fei smiled.
"But... you can't always pretend to be confused? Alice..."
"I'm worrying again." An Fei said with a smile: "Alice is a very rational person. She doesn't show her emotions. On the contrary, she values the stability of the major alliance more than we do."
"You value the stability of the major leagues more than we do? That's not true..."
"If the Grand Alliance is completely defeated, you can return to your country to be your prince. Susanna and I are both peak powerhouses. His Majesty will still take care of us as before. We all have a way out. What does she have?" An Fei said lightly. : "She was the most miserable person at that time! Just because she was too rational, she would never do anything stupid. Worrying about her... you are unnecessary. We might as well make a bet, you have some feelings today. So. You have to find a way to remind me, and Alice also realizes that she is abnormal. She must not have slept at this time. She is reflecting on herself, believe it or not?"
"I won't bet with you." Chris Ding said with a wry smile. An Fei just kept saying that Alice was very calculating, but he knew that An Fei was not as scheming as Alice. At least An Fei had eaten Alice up. Deadly!
"Then come here and go to bed early. Tomorrow will be very busy." An Fei smiled.
"Yeah." Chris Ding nodded.
An Fei and Chris Ding separated, and Kumarajiva behind them sent out some mercenaries to escort Chris Ding back. Others stayed downstairs. Although mercenaries naturally advocate freedom, it must be admitted that people have strong tolerance and adaptability. Under the strict training of Jiu Moroccosha, the mercenaries of the Anfei Guards have become accustomed to their roles. . Acted very conscientiously.
An Fei opened the door. Suddenly, I found that there was an extra guest in the bedroom, and the little guy was lying on the quilt. And Susanna sat on the side with a sad face, gently stroking the little guy with her hand.
Seeing An Fei come in, the little guy raised his head and looked, then lay down again, looking listless.
"What's wrong with the little guy?" An Fei asked in surprise.
"I don't know either. I heard from the maids that the little guy didn't eat anything and stopped running around. They were afraid of taking responsibility, so they sent the little guy back."
When they set off from Stormy Castle, they couldn't take the little guy with them, so they had to leave the little guy in Stormy Castle and ask Alice and Marino to take care of him. In order to take good care of the little guy, Marino found twenty Multiple maids.
An Fei has heard stories about unicorns. It is said that this top-level monster likes the smell of girls very much. He originally thought it was pure nonsense, but it turned out that he was wrong. The little guy always likes to talk to Niya and little Sally. You and other girls mix together and are very indifferent to all men. The only exception is An Fei.
"Have you asked Hui Wei?"
"After asking, he said it might be because the little guy's early childhood is about to pass, but he can't guarantee it. It's only been one year... it's too fast." Susanna replied softly: "He also suggested that in the future, we should You take care of the little one, you have a natural heart, which is very beneficial to the little one's growth."
An Fei sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch the little guy's forehead a few times. The little guy's response was just a few hums, not as lively as before.
"Then let's take care of it these days." An Fei said softly: "Okay, let's go to bed quickly. There are many things to do tomorrow."
"Yes." Susanna agreed, while approaching An Fei, and gently took off An Fei's robe. Suddenly she noticed something strange in An Fei's eyes, raised her head to look, but was frightened by the warmth in An Fei's eyes. A jump: "Why...why are you looking at me like this!"
"It's nothing." An Fei smiled. He knew that Susanna was good, but after talking to Chris Ding for a long time just now, he recalled everything that happened when he met Susanna. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and his hands and feet naturally became... Not being honest anymore, he first hugged Susanna's waist, and then kissed Susanna gently on the lips.
Susanna understood what An Fei meant, looked at the little guy a little embarrassed, and then fell into An Fei's arms obediently.
