Indescribable tarot cards

Leiden City, the city lord's mansion, somewhere in a remote and quiet room.

Tu Antivan was leaning in his wheelchair, pretending to close his eyes and meditate, but his skinny fingers were tapping on the blanket one after another.

There is a strong aroma of tea in the room. It is tea from the Scalesin River in the Kingdom of Lenofica. It is mellow and has a good taste. When boiled, it can emit a certain calming effect.

Tea like this, even in the Kingdom of Lenofica, is equivalent to gold, and it is a luxury product bought at an exorbitant price by the ounce, not to mention being sent all the way to the Kingdom of Algrant.

Including the expenses on the road, one tea leaf can cover the daily expenses of an ordinary family of three for a month.

But now, such expensive tea was just placed on the table casually. Neither Tu Antivan nor the current Lord of Leiden City, Horace, had any desire to taste it.

In fact, they had been in this room for a quarter of an hour.

There was no communication or eye contact. The newly promoted Lord of Leiden City just respectfully invited Tu Antiwan over and then specially cooked a pot of tea for him.

It seemed that he felt that the time was finally ripe. At this moment, the new city lord, who was handsome and always had a smile on his lips, finally said: "I'm sorry, Master Tuantivan, as you know, due to the continuous natural disasters that have occurred recently, , the whole city is in chaos, I really don’t have the energy, and it’s only now that I..."

Although he said this, his eyes were clear and not bloodshot from staying up all night, and there were no black or blue circles on his face.

The so-called chaos may actually be chaos.

But to say that he has no energy, you really can't tell from his appearance.

Tu Antivan waved his hand casually to interrupt his words, and said to himself: "Horace, you know, I am not interested in listening to your explanation, I only want the results, and you also know that I want to What to ask."

In Leiden City, he was deliberately hung up by the Sogetos family for more than ten days, but Tu Antiwan still didn't have the slightest anger on his face, and just narrated in a calm tone.

Horace was obviously not used to such a straightforward style, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but soon he forced a smile and said: "Of course, Master Tu Antiwan, of course we know your purpose, but..."

He deliberately prolonged the last note, pointed to the top of his head carefully, and showed a meaningful smile to Tu Antiwan.

"Master, it's not that we don't want to help you. After all, you have made a lot of contributions to our Kingdom of Algrant, and you have witnessed the process of the entire kingdom growing from scratch.

Our Sogetos family still respects you very much, but you also know His Majesty’s attitude..."

He continued to draw out his voice.

“What His Majesty requested was to mobilize the entire kingdom to serve the Great Expedition.

As an outpost, Leyden City was already under considerable pressure.

You may not know that in response to this war, I have turned several hairs gray. "

As he spoke, he pointed to his thick black hair hypocritically and lamented, "I haven't had a good night's sleep since I took over Layden City during this period..."

Although he said this, his eyes were always looking at Tu Antiwan with a distance, looking at the old man in front of him who had his eyes closed to relax.

To be honest, he really didn't want to meet this old man. If it weren't for the fact that he really felt that he couldn't delay it any longer, he would even want to delay it for a while longer.

Maybe, then His Majesty will change his mind?

Unfortunately, at least until now, no.

His Majesty has always been arrogant and arrogant, and as an emperor and as Agrant III, the synonym of eloquent and arrogant is to have his own way.

Before knowing the outcome of this great expedition, Horace could only temporarily regard this insistence as a neutral term.

The Great Expedition consumes a large amount of resources, and repairing the Mage Tower also requires a large amount of resources...

And when His Majesty expressed his attitude during repeated negotiations with the elder of the three dynasties in front of him, the noble families who were loyal to His Majesty certainly had to show their loyalty.

Otherwise, even if the noble families really don't want to help Antivan, they will at least provide symbolic assistance such as craftsmen, and not to the extent of giving them nothing.

However, in the face of Horace's complaints, Tu Antiwan acted extremely calm, even so quiet that Horace felt a little nervous.

He just lay quietly in the wheelchair, looking half asleep.

But how could Horace really think that this inconspicuous old man was asleep?

Seeing that Tu Antiwan didn't react at all, Horace was not in a hurry. A light flashed in his eyes, and then he said again: "However, Master Tu Antiwan, I think maybe we still have room for discussion..."

The old man in the wheelchair still didn't respond, but his fingers that slowly tapped his knuckles silently stopped.

After calming down and clearing his throat, Horace sorted out his thoughts a little, adjusted his demeanor, and said seriously: "How much do you know about the previous Bals?"

"Well, I don't know much..." Tu Antivan said slowly, "But his willingness to sacrifice himself to prevent natural disasters is admirable."

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right."

Horace breathed a sigh of relief, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and looked much more relaxed.

"In fact, our Saugetos family also feels sad to lose people like Bals. After all, he is a good city lord."

As he spoke, Horace pretended to wipe his eyes, as if he was about to shed a few tears at the next moment.

"As you know, the people from Hanging Sword came to investigate, but we found that there seems to be a lot of things that have slipped through the net."

As he spoke, Horace consciously or unconsciously observed Tu Antivan's attitude, ready to end the topic at any time.

This topic, after all, is a bit too sensitive.

Horace, and even the entire Saugetos family, really didn't know what Tu Antivan's attitude was.

This scepter-type extraordinary person lives in seclusion on weekdays and almost never participates in non-important activities and events. He spends all his time in his mage tower studying talisman inscriptions.

It is really difficult for the Saugetos family to judge his attitude from the limited information.

And the next thing must depend on his attitude.

This is why Horace feels so stressed.

If it is not handled well...

Horace could hardly imagine the consequences.

Even he had no idea what the owner of the family was thinking about so boldly asking him to contact Tu Antivan.
