Chapter 621 Not easy(2/2)
As time passed, the two silently looked at each other, and the air gradually became murderous without knowing it, and the chill was overflowing.
The atmosphere is ominous and heavy.
Every time Thales looked up from the book, he felt that he was between the two magic guns, and it was difficult to breathe.
It's like being in a funeral.
"Can you stop staring at me!"
The zombies and the ghost of the wind snorted together, looked away, and the air returned to normal.
Until they (inevitably) meet their eyes again next time.
Thyls, who was protected by them, felt so desperate.
When Huaiya and Glover are accompanying Thales, it is a different situation.
The attendant regarded himself as the prince’s most important confidant, and wanted to show his favor to Glover. When the two of them inadvertently looked at each other, they nodded friendly to him. Facing the enthusiasm, the unsocial zombies became unnatural. The latter often Turning his chin back awkwardly, he turned his head and looked away. This caused Wya to be astonished for a while, thinking that he had done something wrong, so he put on a little smile next time, so Glover was even more at a loss, pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, and turned his head to avoid. If Wiya thinks this is a positive response from the other party, he is encouraged to continue smiling. If he thinks that the other party's response is not good, he will reflect on himself and become more friendly and enthusiastic next time, so Glover becomes more embarrassed, but he is reluctant to speak...
So Thales caught a glimpse of it from the corner of the eye, often like this:
On the left, Wiya smiled momentarily, nodded momentarily, and after receiving a response, occasionally disappointed and frustrated, occasionally full of confidence, always trying to make eye contact with the other party-on the way.
On the right, the guardian Glover shrank into a ball with the least amount of limbs, twisting weakly and painfully, avoiding his gaze, and squeezing a smile, like a little baby who has been poked in the face but powerless to resist. .
"enough!"
Tyles gritted his teeth and started to shoot the case again:
"Go to the next bedroom to flirt!"
Doyle and Rolf's on-duty combination is hard to say.
Doyle has a cheerful personality and is over-familiar. As always, he tries to talk to Rolf, but he knows that the ghost of the wind cannot speak, so he carefully writes down the "interesting gestures" between the latter and the prince, and he is beside the prince. , Face to face on duty, with a mysterious smile from time to time, and suddenly throws a gesture that he doesn't know what he means:
【Eating】
Rolfe rolled his eyes and turned his head to ignore him.
D.D vaguely knew what was wrong, but he was not discouraged, only the more frustrated he became, the more courageous he made the next gesture, and raised his eyebrows to indicate whether he was right:
【you? but? 】
Rolfe was a little angry, but he knew the character of this person and tried to ignore it.
D.D blinked and started to combine different gestures:
【Do it? WC? eat? 】
Rolf gritted his teeth subconsciously and gave him a murderous look.
But Doyle was motivated and became more interested:
【you? Toilet, eating? 】
Rolfe’s eyes were almost cold enough to freeze Mindis Hall.
Doyle feels that he has made the right way:
【Like, toilet? 】
Rolf's anger almost overflowed beyond the mask.
D.D is more surprised:
【Like, fuck? 】
Rolfe squeezed his fists until Doyle’s gleeful gestures:
【Like it? dry? you? 】
In the next second ~www.novelbuddy.com~ The fascinated Thales only felt a gust of wind blowing, a crackling sound, and the ghost of the wind rolled with DD until Bastille came to hear the news. Ya or Nehi separated them.
Thyls, who was watching all this, only felt heavy, and picked up the pages all over the floor in a daze.
In the life of Mindis Hall, there is a stagnant water and hurriedly jumping back and forth, depending on what problems are encountered today, but basically there is no intermediate value.
In short, for a period of time after the agreement with the king, rumors flew outside, and the forces in Yongxing City also stood in line, while the Duke of Xinghu gained rare freedom, no more fate from a higher level, no more Wherever you go, there is a big battle with mountains and seas, and there is no longer a rule and dogma that must be scrupulous at all times.
But whenever Thales looked at the sunset outside the window, he knew that everything had a price in front of him.
The Western Wilderness incident is over, but the kingdom will not stop advancing.
Thyls looked down at the "covenant" in his hand.
The kingdom will not forget him, and the Fuxing Palace will not.
He is the king’s sword and chess piece.
He was waved again and moved...
Just a matter of time.
But before that...
"We are out of money."
Thyls looked back gracefully and was taken aback:
"what?"
Malius, who was indifferent as before, and the logistics officer who looked like constipation, Dward Stone stood in front of him.
"You heard me."
"Our previous expenditures were all taken care of by the Palace of Renaissance. We only need to hand over the ledger to Baron Quentin at the end of the month," Mallos said nonchalantly: "But now..."
The logistics officer Shi Tuo held up the account book awkwardly.
Thyls came back to his senses:
"Oh, yes, we... are on our own account."
According to the conditions he negotiated with the king-this is one of the signs of the discord between Mindis Hall and Fuxing Palace.
is also a condition for his independence.
"Wait, do we have no other income?"
The logistics officer Shi Tuo looked sad, and explained carefully to the Duke, who did not touch the sun with his fingers, and did not know Chai Migui when he was not in charge:
"Yes, we have the salary of the royal guard, and you also have the life payment of the star prince according to the law, but..."
"Not enough." Mallos was expressionless and straightforward.
"First of all, you have done so many actions in the past few months. The tea fee alone is... And because the relationship between Mindisi Hall and many urban departments including market officials has weakened, we have increased a lot of expenses for no reason, oh, the most The most important thing is the batch at the banquet..."
Glass wine glass.
Tyers, who was unlovable, helped him finish his words-in his heart.
"And we are still repaying the debt in installments-the total is divided... Forget it, you are already annoying enough."
Stuo's detailed accounts:
"After we are responsible for our own profits and losses, we cannot purchase directly from the channels of Fuxing Palace, and we spend a lot more. You know, the prices of Yongxing City..."
Tyers knows the prices in the Morning Star and Evening Stars, and nodded stupidly:
Yongxing Habitat is not easy.
Then his eyes rolled:
"Wait, I heard D.D say that there are many rare treasures in Mindis Hall, such as famous paintings..."
Marius frowned and looked at a portrait of Su Mei III "Jackal" behind him.
"Even if you dare to sell..."
"Who would dare to buy?"
Tyles’ expression dropped again.
"Then maybe we can open the first floor of Mindis Hall for everyone to visit, and then collect tickets, two silver coins per person?"
"Where did the bad idea come from?"
"Hey, what do I think from the book?"
"Which book? Maybe I should report it to the Hall of Discipline..."
"Well, in Longxiao City, a novel by the people from the North, tells the story of a family living in a manor..."
"That," the logistics officer Shi Tuo tentatively said:
"In fact, many of your customers these days—the kind with extraordinary status—are deliberately investing for you, including..."
"No." Thales and Mallos were in unison at this time, surprisingly unanimous.
The prince and the watchman looked at each other.
It seems that both he and the other party know what can be done and what can’t be done.
In fact, even if Thales made such a rebellious act, which can be described as shocking and terrifying, and it has caused rumors to the outside world, but Mallos still responded mediocrely, did not ask another question, and still worked sullenly. The Xinghu Guards were reorganized in an orderly manner and continued to look after the daily life of Min Disi Hall.
As if Thales had just taken a walk to the Fuxing Palace.
Indifferent as before, numb as usual.
This makes Thales very grateful to him.
Well, it would be better if he didn’t use this attitude towards my orders.
"Then maybe you can tell your majesty and let Baron Quentin pay our expenses again..."
"No." Thales refused decisively, more decisively than before.
"Okay," the logistics officer Shi Tuo sighed and closed the ledger, "then there is only one last way."
Tyles and Malloss turned their heads together, listening.
"We can't stay in Yongxing City anymore-the prices here, even the salary of the guards for the next month have already been withdrawn."
No longer stay in Yongxing City.
Ah, stay away from the Fuxing Palace, away from the king, away from bad people and things, it’s good to dare to love, but...
Thyls raised his eyebrows:
"where to?"
"Of course it is to go to your fief," the logistics officer Shi Tuo said sternly, "According to the sacred star convention, your Excellency, you can exercise your natural rights on the fief-collecting tax and rent."
"Fief? Do I still have a taxable fief?"
Thyls said with a laugh:
"Where? Is D.D's pocket money pocket?"
Mallos coughed.
"Of course, don't forget, you are the Duke of Xinghu."
Duke of Star Lake.
Thales was puzzled, a little surprised.
Isn’t this a virtual title? The courageous kind?
"And your fief is..."
The watchman nodded solemnly, and pointed to the lakeside castle on a landscape painting on the wall:
"Star Lake Fort."

Just in case someone doesn’t know, I still say that the extraordinarily happened in the same place.
