"Sir, this is a material requisition order sent from Cadian City. This year our taxes have been increased by half a layer, and we can't even let people live!"
The adjutant placed a parchment scroll on the desk, and then began to talk bitterly. He couldn't understand why only Yindao became the doormat among the doormats despite both being the territory of the Principality of Sayeru.
"I understand. You go and prepare first. As for other matters, I will try my best to solve them." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, and then he lowered his head again and started reviewing the official documents.
Seeing this, the adjutant had no choice but to stamp his feet, turn around and leave. He was the other party's personal guard and a close confidant like a domestic servant. Therefore, he was always aggrieved by his master for this extremely unfair law.<
/p>
But he didn't know that his master was not willing to tolerate this kind of life. It's just that the latter knew how to tolerate it far better than he did, at least on the surface he would not show any dissatisfaction.
The door slowly closed, and the quill in the middle-aged man's hand also bent, and finally broke into two halves. The ink spurted out, staining the parchment from Cadian City black, and even dripped on his brocade robe.
.
Alfredo, the owner of Silver Island, was recognized as a doormat of the Principality of Shayer. In the past ten years, his attitude towards Grand Duke Elba could be described as extremely deferential, but in return he was subjected to heavy taxes again and again, and countless conflicts.
Zhang temporary supplies requisition order.
Silver Island, as its name sounds, is related to Jin Island. In fact, this is exactly the case. Silver Island is a subsidiary territory of Jin Island, so it is not only directly controlled by Jin Dao, but also cannot violate the laws of Grand Duke Shayul.
It is located directly south of Golden Island, adjacent to the Fran Mountains to the west, and the endless Qin Sea to the east. For thousands of years, Silver Island has been the criminal paradise of the Principality of Shayel, where security is child's play, and chaos and fighting are the norm every day.
The main theme.
Alfredo was originally a high-level wandering mage. He only chose to settle here because he was tired of the wandering life. But after the death of the old Grand Duke, everything changed beyond recognition.
There is no supply of magic crystals, no greetings from those who once dismissed it, and no invitation to go to Cadian City again.
Although Alfredo didn't care about these things, he still had some complaints in his heart. However, what made him despair was that the new Grand Duke Elba not only looked down on him, but also drove him to work for the principality like a pig or a dog. p>
"Go and call my wife and daughter, and ask them to bring all the storage bags."
"Before that, you go home first. I will wait here. Do not disclose this matter to a third person."
There was an extra wand in Alfredo's hand, and his whole aura suddenly turned cold. As a high-level wind magician, he also had his own pride, and he could endure anger to the limit.
The adjutant, who was supposed to have left long ago, nodded silently, and then left quietly. The originally cheerful face was actually replaced by a stern face.
Alfredo looked at the adjutant's leaving figure and stood by the window in a daze. Although he was not from Shayal, he had lived here for nearly ten years. It would be a lie to say that he had no feelings.
Looking back on his life, Alfredo thought that although his talent was mediocre, he worked hard to the limit. In order for his daughter to grow up healthily, he endured countless sun and moon cycles.
Creak! Half an hour later, the door was opened again. A gentle-faced woman walked in with a little girl, followed by another family of three.
"Mr. Alfredo, I wonder what you have to do today that requires all of us to be here?" The speaker was the adjutant's wife, but her brows were full of smiles.
"We don't need these things between us. I decided on something today and I need to discuss it with you, because the six of us are inseparable partners."
Alfredo waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down. However, his own daughter and the lieutenant's boy kept running around the room, sometimes touching here, sometimes climbing on the table.
The wives of both families scolded them in unison, but what they got in return was a burst of laughter from the two little guys. Alfredo smiled bitterly and shook his head, then raised his hand to cast a soundproof barrier.
The wife was slightly startled when she saw this situation, because she knew her husband best, and if there was nothing important, he would never be so cautious.
"Although I am the owner of Silver Island, you all know the actual situation. The material requisition order from Grand Duke Shayulu has been sent again. This time I don't want to let him drive me."
"I heard that the situation in the Pava Federation is far better than that in the Augur Continent, so I decided to leave the Shayul Principality tonight and never set foot on the Augur Continent again."
"Of course, this is just my personal idea. As for whether you agree or not, naturally you need to seriously consider it. The sailboat will weigh anchor at midnight."
Alfredo did not go to see his wife because he knew that her wife had already planned to leave. But his adjutant was different. If the other family planned to stay, then he would naturally not force them to leave.
The realm of the far east.
The room fell into dead silence for an instant. Except for the two little guys who were still playing around, the four adults looked worried. Although Alfredo's wife had already planned to leave the Principality of Shaylu, she did not expect it to be so sudden.
As for the adjutant's wife, she changed her usual carefree attitude and looked at her husband with a confused expression. She can decide anything at home, but she is at a loss for such important matters.
The adjutant stared at Alfredo, then slowly stood up. He lifted the leather armor on his chest, and a shocking magical burn was exposed to the air.
"Sir, as long as you don't dislike me, a little low-level warrior, then even if you want to go to the Shadow Land, I will accompany you."
"Although I have no skills, I still know what it means to repay a favor! Therefore, I think that instead of wasting time on such meaningless discussions, we should plan our future life."
"Although the Napawa Federation has an excellent reputation, it is just another miniature version of the ancient continent. Wherever there are people, fights will inevitably occur."
The adjutant's wife nodded when she heard this, and then she carelessly pulled the woman next to her to the two children. In her opinion, this kind of thing is the man's decision. As a wife, she only needs to
Just trust the other party. As for the future, it is just a fate that has been arranged by the gods.
As night fell, the four adults completely hid their figures in their hoods. As for the two little guys, they were held tightly by a few servants to avoid attracting the attention of others along the way.
Under the bright moon, a sloop put away its anchor, and then quickly sailed north on the Qin Haiyang Current. Everyone took off their hoods, and there was no trace of nostalgia on everyone's face. Instead, they looked delicate and energetic.
In the stone tower that should have been brightly lit, a parchment stained with ink was always spread out on the table. Silver Island was still very noisy, and people were still complaining.
"Thank you for your respect for so many years, but I have never been from Shayel. Here are two dragon crystals given by the old Grand Duke, and now I will return them in full."
"I hope you can treat the ordinary people in Yindao well, and I hope Yindao will have a better manager in the future. By the gods, let's say goodbye."
These were the last two words Alfredo left for the Principality of Sayeru, and they were also his last apology to the old Grand Duke. Times have changed, and there is no need for him to let his family suffer any more humiliation just for a promise.
