Sitting in the chair in front of Ye Qi, Mark Beth's back was still straight and he was not leaning on the backrest; although the mayor of Landingburg had served as mayor for nearly three years, his army The style of his background has not changed; whether it is from his usual words and deeds or from people's discussions, Ye Qi can tell that the middle-aged man with a serious face in front of him is a good mayor; He is more qualified and competent than his predecessors.
But this did not reduce Ye Qi's inner anger in any way-although the Port of Saas does not belong to Fort Landing, as the mayor of Fort Landing, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to be ignorant of what happened in Port of Saas Moreover, with the other party's meticulous behavior style in the past, the SLR knew that tonight's incident might happen in Saskatchewan, so even if the probability was low, the other party could not let it go; especially at this moment, when everything subsided , but the other party suddenly appeared in his bar very punctually; obviously, the other party obviously knew something, but in the end he chose to remain indifferent.
And this kind of indifference undoubtedly made Ye Qi angry, but at the same time he brought a sense of disgust—about the dangers of pirates, Ye Qi believed that the other party definitely knew much more than himself; , is just a body filled with greed and killing. Most of the time, it can no longer be called a human being. It is just a walking dead who can think, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and is dominated by interests; as long as there are interests, they can Carrying on looting, killing, and burning is comparable to the passing of locusts. Not a blade of grass grows.
Pirates are abominable and damnable, this is the common understanding of all the people who are sailing in the port of Saskatchewan, but in Ye Qi's view. On the opposite side, the Mr. Mayor, who has always been praised by people, is not much nobler than pirates, and even more despicable - he ignores the life and death of ordinary people, only for his own interests, and does not hesitate to use pirates Such an existence, to achieve one's own purpose; undoubtedly, such an existence. In any case, it is impossible to match Gao Shang.
If you're serious, you don't even need to call it a human!
Although their identities as demon hunters destined them to walk on the edge of the world, it didn't mean they would escape from everything. Putting themselves on any supreme point, despising everything—every demon hunter knows very well that their job is to hunt demons, and their essence is human; a demon hunter who ignores the lives of others is destined not to become a A qualified witcher. He can only be a good hunter, a good hunter who can take advantage of everything, but apart from this glory, he is destined to be cast aside by people.
Just like the mayor in front of you. After placing his work on the highest point of all existence, he forgot his own essence—he was in order to build and manage the city. He has paid unimaginable hard work for ordinary people, but he also works for better construction and management of the city. The interests or lives of some people were sacrificed; he didn't ask the thoughts of these sacrificed people, he just thought that this was an inevitable and necessary existence for the construction and management of the entire city; or he asked, but subconsciously He chose to ignore or forget, because compared to the whole city, these people are undoubtedly insignificant in his heart.
After all, only a small number of people will be sacrificed, and the majority of people will benefit, even everyone except those who were sacrificed; For the opponent at the highest point, it is too easy to choose.
However, facing such a person and such an approach, Ye Qi didn't have any sense of approval; even, the disgust in his heart was enough to make him throw the person in front of him out of his bar and not allow him to take half a step—if not After confirming that the other party had no selfish intentions, Ye Qi didn't mind cutting off the other party's head.
"When I saw you, I didn't ask you to sit here and keep silent!" Ye Qi squinted his eyes slightly, leaned back in the chair, and said flatly: "If you want to say something, please say it straight, my time is limited! "
"Please ask your subordinates to revoke the commission from the dark mercenaries! Four people have been assassinated at home by the dark mercenaries. If this continues, the entire Port of Saas, Fort Landing, and even the Bay Area will be destroyed. They're all in panic!" Facing Ye Qi's question, Mark Bess answered bluntly; however, such an answer made Ye Qi sneer: "In panic? Compared with the consequences of pirate invasion , these four people are too insignificant, they can be ignored! What's more, since I have done it myself, I must have the courage to take responsibility, and if I just collude with the pirates, they will die without guilt!"
"Even if there is more than enough to die, it should be punished by the highest government's law, not your private actions!"
Mark Bess said in a deep voice, staring straight at Ye Qi without backing down; facing such a gaze, Ye Qi, who had been squinting his eyes, showed a lot of contempt and sarcasm on his face—if it was a pirate invasion Before, if the other party had such courage to face him, a Sunshine-level powerhouse, perhaps Ye Qi would still feel admiration, and even praise him because of the previous relationship; but after seeing the essence of the other party clearly Afterwards, Ye Qi was unmoved at all.
"Then, what responsibility should we bear for allowing the pirates to invade? What kind of legal sanctions should we be subject to?"
Ye Qi unreservedly asked the other party in a sarcastic tone—immediately, Mark Bess, who was still full of momentum, was taken aback, and then slowly said: "Defend, defend against pirates, It is the responsibility of the Northstead family!"
The responsibility of the North family!
What the other party said made the corners of Ye Qi's mouth slightly upturned, forming a mocking smile—undoubtedly, Mark Bess, like those top government officials directly stationed in the Port of Saas, has a strong sense of the true ownership of the Port of Saas. My own thoughts; for a mayor who will be good, belongs to the highest government, and is wholeheartedly for the highest government, it is naturally understandable to obtain the real control over the Port of Saskatchewan!
But this is only for the highest government, and for the people under its governance, no matter how competent the other party is. He is also unqualified; because, even those citizens who support him, when necessary, he will choose to give up for the benefit of the highest government. It's like he gave up the people of Port Saas.
"So, for the benefit of the highest government, you chose to sit on the sidelines?" Ye Qi asked back; however, obviously, he was not interested in waiting for the other party's answer, but directly waved his hands: "Since you chose to sit on the sidelines before , then you now have no reason to intervene again; defending against pirates is the responsibility of the Northeast family, and security is naturally also the responsibility of the Northeast family!"
"I don't have any interest in knowing your lofty ideals. I'm just a simple demon hunter. I only know that the existence of not paying attention to other people's lives is doomed to its evil and ugly nature!"
Looking at Mark Bess, who still wanted to explain, Ye Qi didn't give him a chance. Instead, he directly ended the unpleasant conversation—pointing to the door behind the other party, Ye Qi said word by word: "I will not dictate your authority, those who were sacrificed by you, It's none of my business either; I'm a demon hunter, and it's not my turn to trouble you; but I remind you, if you walk at night in the future, be careful, those guys who are blinded by hatred. I don't mind Throw a brick or a dagger from the shadows! Of course, I suggest they choose firearms!"
…
"gentlemen!"
Although there is already some distance from the port of Saas. However, the storm raging in Saas Harbor still brought heavy rain accompanied by strong winds to the entire Landingburg. As a result, people walking on the road at night cannot open an umbrella at all; even a raincoat is helpless in the face of the oncoming raindrops. Therefore, the secretary of the mayor who has been waiting in the corner of the first floor of the bar, and then for Mark Beth After handing over a raincoat, he took the lead to open the door, and kept walking obliquely in front of Mark Beth, blocking the oncoming raindrops without overstepping.
However, the next moment, the secretary understood his meticulousness, and one thing was ignored by the preoccupied Mr. Mayor—looking at Mark Beth walking in the muddy water, with wet and dirty shoes and trousers; A secretary wisely chose to remain silent.
Although he only became the other party's secretary after applying for the job two years ago, it does not mean that the secretary's working ability is shallow; in fact, this job is already his fourth job after leaving school; About one-third of the work is enough for him to understand when to say and what to do, and when not to say and what not to do; Mayor—In two years, at any time, as the manager of the entire Landing Castle, the other party's face was always full of confidence, as if nothing could be done to the other party; Under the opponent's swift and resolute means, it will always become easy to do, even those things that seem unbelievable to everyone in normal times.
All the people who work and work in the city hall admire the manager's ability from the bottom of their hearts, and the incorruptibility of the other party makes some existences who were originally suspicious become greatly appreciated—as the other party's Secretary, he can guarantee that the other party is not playing tricks on the surface and privately; he is with the other party twenty-four hours a day, almost 20 hours a day, and he really knows the real side of the other party all too well. up.
The standard of three meals for ordinary people, even if it is not to the taste, will not waste any food; clothes, except for a set worn for important meetings, only two identical clothes as replacements; and the apartment rented in the name of the city hall , for people who spend more than 29 days a month in the office, it basically loses its due function completely; as for the car? It's just a car left by the previous mayor. Although it looks quite stylish, it is already outdated for some rich people-he doesn't think this kind of daily life can be disguised. The division of work is enough for him to clearly distinguish the difference between real and fake.
Therefore, Mark Bess, who is capable, honest, and unscrupulous in handling affairs, is undoubtedly a good mayor in his eyes, an existence worthy of his following—that is, as a secretary, as a driver, and sometimes even Guest chef and repairman, but received a meager salary. Without this recognition, with his qualifications, he could have found a more decent job with better salary.
But today is so different, before departure. That kind of confidence disappeared completely, and after returning from the bar that seemed to him to be a normal-sized bar with good customer flow, he was even more preoccupied. It can even be called completely dazed—while driving the car, looking at the manager of Landingburg who knows that he is still frowning from the side mirror at the same time, the mayor's secretary suddenly wondered in his heart which place could make him feel The people who follow in my heart have such a changed bar, which arouses considerable curiosity.
What exactly is there? What happened again
"Go back to the city hall! And summon the heads of all departments in Fort Landing!"
"Yes, sir!"
The secretary who was thinking, heard Mark Beth's voice, and looked at the manager of Landingburg who had become the same as before; immediately, he replied calmly—as for the bar he was still thinking about before
This moment has long been left behind by him; after all. Compared with the order that Mark Beth had to fulfill in his heart, it was just a place where he aroused curiosity; apart from curiosity, it was useless at all, and the order of Mr. Mayor. But it is related to the lives of countless people!
Compared with the former, the bar that aroused his curiosity is not worth mentioning at all!
…
Faced with the sudden and extreme weather in the bay area, Shaker is always so calm and indifferent.
On the outskirts of Shark, on the central castle. There are dots of starlight in the high night sky; under the bright moonlight, the silvery white coats the blooming flowers with a simple and clean coat that can't help but admire; It is even more unbearable to close your eyes comfortably, enjoying the blessings of nature.
but. A wild laugh broke the beautiful atmosphere of the night; especially. The rangers on patrol looked nervously at the place where the laughter came out, until they could clearly see the opponent's figure and appearance. Only then respectfully retreated to the side—the giant Ted ran towards the Tower of Moonlight at a speed that was completely unsuitable for him, but the excitement in his heart made him unable to calm down; After reading the news for the third time and confirming that I read it correctly, a burst of excitement that could no longer be suppressed, accompanied by loud laughter, almost spread throughout the entire central castle, attracting countless people to watch.
Especially those newly promoted apostles, who have just entered the central castle of the witcher's headquarters, are faced with countless kinds of training. They are extremely sensitive to any new things; It makes them know that they will receive very physical training tomorrow morning. If they don't rest early now, they will be punished by various failures, and they still turn their attention to their instructors—one or two bold The one even rushed to the side of the giant man.
"Instructor Ted, what makes you so happy?"
"Could it be that your strength has broken through?"
"If my strength breaks through again, everyone will know! Besides, even if my strength breaks through, there is nothing to be happy about!" The giant waved his hand with an excited smile, but he did not forget His responsibilities—he pointed to these newly promoted apostles who were still in the apprenticeship stage and said, "If you don't want to get double training tomorrow, train me right away!"
Immediately, several trainee apostles who had soaked beside the giant man immediately stretched their faces, like bitter melons;
"If you can finish the training on time tomorrow, I invite you to the Dolphin Bar!"
"Haha, instructor, prepare your salary!"
"Yes, we will definitely complete the training at an absolute speed!"
…
Amidst the cheers of the trainee apostles behind him, the giant Ted entered the Tower of Moonlight directly, and smiled heartily at the two tower guards who had opened the gate of the Tower of Moonlight in advance because of his laughter. He came to the study room on the top of the tower; then, he restrained his smile, and knocked on the wooden door very respectfully—the top of the tower with a special design was enough to block any noise, even if he yelled loudly below, unless it was knocking on the door or The owner of the room is willing to release, otherwise they will hear nothing.
And according to the giant man's understanding, the old man who is in charge of the entire witcher union will never be dismissed when he is working; therefore, knocking on the door is the best choice.
"Come in!"
As soon as the knock on the door fell, Hesel's old but powerful answer came from the study.
