"...My subordinates know."

Taut did not believe that a person who had been dead for eighteen hundred years would be resurrected, but in order to survive and have a visible hope, he chose to surrender.

There is no benefit to dying here. His relatives will be bullied by others, and he will only be a waste who failed in his mission, rather than a hero who performed a difficult mission.

"In the next few days, you will follow us to Garden City. I want you to be my spy. I need this clue, so your infiltration must be perfect and there can be no mistakes in timing."

Balliard did not regard the nobles from the aristocratic families in the east as a group of fools. Those people may not have a good vision, but their intelligence is not low. Those people from the aristocratic families, even if they are just drunkards and ricebags, will not really do anything in this feudal era.

are a bunch of idiots.

It’s just that their vision constrains their own wisdom. No matter how smart a person who can only see the present is, he cannot compare with an ordinary person who can see the long-term. How can a noble who only focuses on a small piece of territory compare?

Is it comparable to Baliard who is eyeing the entire Shurima continent?

This shows that those nobles do not have the ability to control the entire continent of Shurima, but they have the strength to control the green space in the eastern part of Shurima. They sent a group of people from Garden City to Balliard's territory, but only one returned. Can those nobles not

Check this guy out properly?

Even if you talk about trust and ask your cronies to take good care of this person, what will be the result? Why not test this person in a different way to see if there is any problem with trust? What a joke.

"yes."

Taote didn't really want to talk. He needed time to calm down. He killed his companion and surrendered to a fake. Even if it was his own choice, he still felt guilty about killing his companion.

, it’s not that easy to get rid of.

"Going back to Garden City?"

Jasper asked casually. He didn't really want to go back. There was no point in going back. There was no such freedom outside and he could encounter many unexpected situations.

"This is natural. Although your purpose of coming here is to seek refuge with Gu on behalf of Garden City, Gu is already here. There is no reason not to go to Garden City to have a look. By the way, Nerimajie's predecessor, the Marquis, is also in Garden City. Gu wants to meet him.

meet him."

Balliard did not conceal his purpose. Nerimajie is a very critical place. By controlling Nerimajie, Balliard will be able to control the western shipping more conveniently and avoid the marquises in the northern coastal areas.

Transport the army to Xueyin City by sea.

"Since His Majesty has this intention, let's go back. However, Your Majesty must not leave me in Garden City."

Jasper believed that Balliard was Emperor Sima Yi, but he had become Balliard's attendant and was considered a member of Balliard's cronies. He did not want to be left there after returning to Garden City.

His father, Carmen, is not the kind of ambitious person. He is worried that his father will refuse him to follow Valliard. Although this way he will have more opportunities for himself to develop and be reused, but under the influence of his father

In his eyes, this makes him more vulnerable to being targeted.

It may even harm her family. Carmen is very likely to prevent Jasper from following Valliard because she is worried about this kind of thing. Only with Baliard's strong request, after returning to Garden City, can he leave again and follow the...

Beside Valliard.

Because Carmen would never dare to offend Balliard. Carmen would never refuse Balliard's request.

"Oh? You are Gu's guard, how can you stay in Garden City?"

Ballyard thinks that although Jasper can be stupid sometimes, he still has a bright mind and is not a pure idiot. In addition, he is already at the fifth level. If he cultivates it well, he may be able to use the rune energy again.

When you surge, become an extraordinary person.

Moreover, Jasper is Carmen's second son, and having Jasper by his side can be regarded as a favor to the Adams family.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Although it was just a common thing, for Jasper who did not want to stay in Garden City forever, nor did he want to do nothing or achieve nothing, Balliard's promise gave him the foundation to break away from his family and build a successful career.

Although the Adams family has a long history, Garden City, which has not been threatened by any foreign enemies in the past eighteen hundred years, has long been unsuitable for ambitious people.

That is to say, these are troubled times, otherwise, there would not be a person like Jasper in the entire Garden City.

"Let's set off."

Balliard comforted Anne, who was a little unhappy, and the people around her made some guesses about the identity of the little girl who dared to sit on Balliard's shoulders. She should be the last princess of the Jin Kingdom.

Having weathered the sandstorm, Balliard and the others had at least one or two days of sandstorm-free time on their way back to Garden City, and this time was enough for them to walk to Garden City.

Because the sandstorm here does not cover the sky as soon as it comes. Usually, it takes a day for the sandstorm to cover the sky and the earth with yellow sand. In other words, without facing the threat of sandstorm, Valliard and others

There are three days.

And even if the sandstorm comes again, they can still withstand the sandstorm.

In Garden City.

Carmen Adams is like a twilight old man, living a comfortable and comfortable life, lying on a rocking chair in the courtyard in broad daylight, surrounded by three or two maids shaking fans, and one maid is holding a glass of ice water, waiting.

Carmen enjoyed it, and a maid was carrying a plate of snacks, also waiting for Carmen to eat.

It's daytime. In such troubled times, the Marquis is the lord of a city and has to deal with large and small affairs in the city. This usually does not happen, because no matter how small a city is, there are a lot of affairs, and

In order to better control the city, the marquis cannot ignore the handling of government affairs.

However, the Marquis of Garden City was like this. He firmly held the military power, inspected the army once a week, and memorized the names of many low-level soldiers, establishing a foundation for himself that would not be overthrown by others.

Then, other things will be left to others to solve, and he can naturally enjoy the rest of the time. The busy and boring study life in his youth is gone and will never return.

At this moment, a guard walked in.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Copperfield would like to see you."

These low-level guards did not know the twists and turns between these nobles. He had heard of Copperfield David, the Marquis who was expelled from Nerimajie.

But is the expelled marquis not a marquis? He doesn't understand this, but he understands his own marquis's attitude towards this marquis, and knows that even if Copperfield is expelled, he is not an existence that a commoner like him can humiliate.

Nobles, even down-and-out nobles, are not people who can be bullied by the common people.

"Copperfield?

What is he doing here again? Forget it, let him come in."

Carmen didn't want Copperfield to come to see him. He was also very unhappy about Copperfield being exiled to Garden City, but there was no way. The geographical location of Nerimajie was very critical. Normally,

, Garden City needs to transport goods and purchase supplies, so it all takes the coastal path on the Nerimajie side.

Because before the rise of the City of the Sun, the Kohar Lijiang River was not suitable for building a port, and no city could be built there. Anyone who intended to excavate the old site of the City of the Sun would die inexplicably, as if they were attacked.

Like a curse.

If a port is not built near the former site of City of the Sun, if Garden City wants to purchase supplies or sell some goods from the east, it will have to go through Vicora, and Vicora is too far away from Garden City.

It's far away, and the losses along the way can make Carmen feel distressed for a long time.

So, it is better to take the route of Nerimajie, which is convenient, fast, and easier to buy good things at a lower price.

Those people who look down on people in the east sell goods at a price that is 10% or 20% higher. Even if the quality is slightly lower, the price will be higher.

Therefore, the relationship between Garden City and Nerimajie has been very good for these eighteen hundred years. The current Marquis of Nerimajie sent Copperfield here, and he had no reason to refuse.

Even if Nerimajie wants to prevent the rise of the City of the Sun in the future, and Garden City wants to join the City of the Sun, everyone will still be able to get together and disperse easily.

All in all, it's just one sentence - Carmen doesn't want to offend anyone.

"Brother Carmen, why are you so lazy!"

It is because of this relationship that Copperfield can still speak to Carmen in this tone even if he is expelled by Nerimajer.

He was only expelled and his brother did not kill him. In any case, he was the former Marquis of Nerimajie and the former head of the David family. Not everyone can be offended.

"Copperfield, please tell me if you have anything to say. As soon as you came, this beautiful weather seemed to have turned bad."

Carmen showed some respect to Copperfield, sat up straight, and asked a maid to get a rocking chair for Copperfield.

What? The heavy work should not be given to these maids but to the guards? Come on, what if those clumsy guards broke his rocking chair?

"I heard that you sent someone to the City of the Sun?"

Copperfield had also lived in Garden City for a while, and would go to Carmen's house from time to time. He was not surprised by Carmen's attitude. There was no way this man looked like an aristocrat!

"Yes, we have set out for several days. At this time, we have almost contacted Emperor Sima Yi. I, Garden City, have no idea of ​​getting involved in those troublesome things. The City of the Sun poses the greatest threat to Garden City. Rather than being

If you knock on your door, I might as well surrender directly."

Carmen's calculation is still okay. At least he can retain a title and become a rich man. Moreover, with the strength shown by the City of the Sun, it may not be impossible to unify the Shurima continent again.

Even if Emperor Sima Yi fails, Carmen is still a nobleman and a marquis. His identity will not change because of his side. As long as he does not directly help Emperor Sima Yi deal with other nobles, there will be no one at that time.

The nobles came to trouble him.

Moreover, their family has a unique skill that other nobles cannot do - remembering names.

The lower the people are, the more they crave respect. Although some commoners or poor people have a bad attitude towards nobles, and even hate nobles, if a noble who has never met remembers his name and even greets him,

This is a great honor for him.

The unattainable big shot remembers his name!

Carmen has memorized the names of nearly 50% of the people in his army, and even knows some basic information about them. Based on this, it is impossible for anyone in his Garden City to raise the flag of rebellion, because

The most powerful people are in the army, and the army is the most loyal to Carmen.

"Why don't you take me with you?"

Copperfield's attitude was very unfriendly. He thought the rumor was false and alarmist before, because Carmen had not told him about it. But now, the rumors were spreading more and more, and he had to come to Carmen's house.

Ask for confirmation.
