"How about fifty-three silver coins? Only silk like this is worthy of your dignity. Believe me, it's not a matter of price. The leather on your body is your second face."
Listening to the chatter in the store, Mil woke up leisurely.
He rubbed his eyes sleepily, stood up and stretched. As the owner of a shop, it was really embarrassing to wake up later than the customers.
Fortunately, Zoe should be there too, so she won’t keep Emilia busy.
"Ha~ I had a good sleep. Good morning, Zoe, Emilia, and lovely guests." Mir stood up and walked out of the cubicle. He saw Zoe greeting the guests, and Amy Leah was also listening quietly.
"Oh~ Thank you, Mir. No one has ever called me cute. If that person doesn't like me, it would be completely offensive. But you are different. You are quite lovable." The woman, who was about forty, said with a slight smile on her lips. She smiles and likes to squint when looking at people, much like a noble lady.
"I heard that you lost your memory. This is really heartbreaking. Let's get to know each other again. My name is Noni. We used to have a good relationship. Well, by the way, I bought this one. Your leather is as good as ever."
"Thank you, Ms. Noni, nice to meet you," Mir spread his hands: "It seems that the morning has brought me good luck."
"Haha," Noni pulled the corners of her clothes and gave a slight salute: "See you later, Mir. We will always get to know each other again, but it takes time."
After Noli left, Zoe smiled and said to Mir: "Go and have breakfast quickly, Mir. Madam has been waiting for you all morning just to have a meal with you. Fortunately, the cold meat noodles also have a unique flavor."
"I'm so sorry, I slept too deeply last night," Mir smiled and scratched his head, completely unaware of the girl next to him whose face was half red.
"Meat noodles, Emilia, come here and try it. This is Zoe's specialty." Opening the basket and looking at the appetizing meat noodles inside made his taste buds tantalise.
Emilia rolled the roll with a fork and put it in her mouth. She nodded with satisfaction, but she was muttering in her heart. Why did this taste the same as the forest mutton noodles in the noodle shop on Shanglu Street? Even that The characteristics of each store have been created.
Could it be that in order to ensure Mir's food and daily life, Aunt Zoe had to learn the essence from the noodle shop chef at all costs? I heard that the master had a bad temper, but Zoe was too kind.
As Mir ate, he thought about the scene last night, immortality, fighting against extinction, or fighting against entropy, Sequence Nine - Soul, after the body dies and takes the magic potion, the soul comes to reality.
I chose to take the path of Dao in order not to be killed by heretics, but in the end, Dao had to die on my own. It was abstract, too abstract.
"Ellie, are we pressed for time?" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but mutter in her heart: "And my body, after the soul comes to reality, can I still use my body?"
A clear and elegant voice came in my mind: "We have plenty of time until we die. As for life, the life used to carry the soul is just a container. It can be used if it is not broken."
"That's it." After hearing this, Mir finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark. As long as he is not exposed and is not noticed by Destruction, he will not take the initiative to attack.
In that case, there was no need to be impatient. After all, Ellie had been asleep for who knows how long, but she didn't feel anxious.
Is the body a container? As long as it's not broken, you can continue to use it. Fortunately, it would be too lonely if you could only walk in the world as a soul.
"Good morning, Mir," a man carrying a large satchel came in outside the store, interrupting Mir's thoughts: "Have you prepared the letter?"
"Good morning, sir, but what letter did you just say?" Mir looked confused.
"Well, I put the beacon outside the door," Emilia blushed, took out a bound letter from her pocket, and gave it to the postman.
When the postman saw that it was urgent delivery and that the two of them were eating, he left without stopping.
Emilia blushed and lowered her head, looking like she had been exposed. She felt regretful about how she could be so stupid in such a small matter.
"It turns out that if you put a beacon at the door, Mr. Postman will come to the door by himself. This is quite convenient." Mir did not mention the intention of the letter at all. It was none of his business. The interests of the two of them were the same. Yes, there is no need for her to harm herself.
Seeing that Mir didn't care about her thief rubbing, Emilia breathed a sigh of relief and buried her head in the meat.
...
At noon, in a large villa, the elderly Su Lian opened the letter sent by the servants. They said that the letter was payable on delivery, and only her granddaughter Emilia would send a letter payable on delivery to her. If someone else does it, it's offensive.
Opening the bound envelope and looking at the beautiful calligraphy inside, Su Li'an nodded. It seemed that her granddaughter had not forgotten everything she had learned in the past.
But as she read further, her expression became more complicated, and in the end she put the letter away with a look of disgust and distress.
"Emilia, you really posed a problem for me," Su Lian tore the whole letter into several pieces with a look of helplessness, got up and walked to the bathroom, throwing the scraps of paper into the sink.
"Mari,"
"Madam, do you have any orders?"
"Let's set off to see the Duke."
...
The top floor of the Legal Affairs Office. In the past, not many people came here because the Duke liked silence, but today there was hysterical anger.
"This is impossible! This is the biggest concession I can make. Don't forget, she is a noble!"
"Have you forgotten, have you forgotten how the former emperor fell?" Su Lian sat on the chair, looking at the hysterical man in front of her, and said calmly.
"Of course that's thanks to our fathers," the Duke said with pride on his face.
"Come on, when you lied to the people, did you also lie to yourself?" Su Lian looked disdainful: "The emperor was overthrown by the people. Our fathers were just lucky. After the overthrow, they were beaten. It’s just that I won those positions.”
Seeing the Duke's face turning blue and purple, Su Li'an sighed: "You should know what I'm going to say. The nobles are following the emperor's old path, can't you see?"
Hearing this, the Duke stopped talking.
"The public's dissatisfaction with the nobles is like blowing up a balloon. It will explode one day," Su Li'an said, her face becoming more and more disdainful: "And what have you done? You are adding air to the balloon, blindly praising the nobles. Gao Guilun, belittle the common people, what, do you want this balloon to pop faster?"
"Hmph!" The Duke snorted coldly: "So what if it explodes? This is not the past. The aristocracy has developed for more than four hundred years. It does not mean that overthrow can be overthrown. When the time comes to kill two people in their early years, they will not be able to overturn anything. spray."
"Tsk~" Su Lian turned her head and stopped looking at him: "Your thoughts may be consistent with that of the original emperor."
"Haha," the Duke sneered, "Maybe, but I'm not as stupid as him. Okay, you can go back."
"What about the church!" Su Li'an finally couldn't help it anymore and angrily yelled: "I think you are even stupider than that emperor. Why, do you think the church will watch you kill one or two innocent civilians? When a conflict breaks out between nobles and common people, which side do you think the church will side with?
Haven’t we learned enough lessons in the past few years? Now all the common people have the church to protect them!
Are you still so arrogant, noble? Has the church killed fewer nobles in recent years?
Or are you trying to fight those knights?
Noble, hahaha, if the people of Stollen weren't used to the management of nobles now, your head would be hanging at the door of the Justice Department tomorrow! "
Su Li'an panted fiercely. She was old after all. She said so much loudly that she felt a little breathless.
The Duke was silent for a long time, rubbed his numb cheeks, and spoke slowly: "I apologize to you. You are right. I was stupid. Please continue."
"This is a lubricant for the relationship between nobles and commoners," Su Li'an said calmly after regaining her breath: "Such a good opportunity is placed in front of you. I hope you won't be stupid again."
"I understand, I will teach him first..."
"Stop! You idiot, swallow your arrogance!"
"...I know what to do, Mother."
