Chapter 123 The question of the city owner [Also 11/14]

Chen Luo and Isabella actually have no differences regarding the child’s surname in the future.

She even enthusiastically helped Chen Luo's friends to choose several names.

Isabella said with interest: "Blair, when did you take me to meet your friend? I have never seen a child who looks exactly the same..."

"I'll talk about this later if I have the chance..."

The two of them arrived at the city lord's mansion without long chatting.

Although it is the mansion of the city lord, the previous city lords in Yabo City are all from the Clavis family. It is not wrong to say that it is the private manor of the Isabella family.

Isabella took them into the city lord's mansion and headed straight to the back garden.

It was a place where noble ladies gathered. Chen Luo was not very used to that kind of occasion. He originally wanted Isabella to bring the gift in, but shortly after Isabella entered, he walked out again and said, "Mother said she wanted to meet you..."

Chen Luo had to follow her and walk in again.

As soon as he walked into the garden, Chen Luo noticed that more than ten gazes were on him.

The one surrounded by everyone was a beautiful woman. Chen Luo could tell at a glance that she was Isabella's mother, because Isabella's eyes were almost carved from the same mold as her.

Isabella led Chen Luo to the front and said, "Blair, this is my mother."

Chen Luo bowed his head and saluted, "Mrs. Claves, good evening."

In Lorain, you can call an unmarried girl by her first name, but a married woman requires her husband's last name.

Anna Craves looked at Chen Luo and smiled and said, "Student Blair, I like your gift very much. Thank you for your gift and thank you for saving Isabella. I'm sorry, I didn't thank you in person until today..."

Chen Luo smiled and said, "Isabella is my senior sister, that's what I should do."

The noble ladies beside him kept looking at Chen Luo.

"The little guy is very handsome..."

"He was the one who saved Sasha and the lady of the Herman family from Baird. There are very few young people with such courage now..."

"Sasha has never brought the boy back. Are they dating?"

...

The whispers of the noble ladies made Isabella blush. She grabbed Chen Luo's wrist and said to the beautiful woman: "Mother, I'll take Blair to see her father first..."

Everyone laughed again and joked: "Sasha, what are you afraid of? We won't compete with you..."

Isabella grabbed Chen Luo and ran away at a faster speed.

The status of women in the Divine Greed Continent is not low, and female magicians and female scholars are very common, which also leads to their openness in their concepts. From girls to young women, even Chen Luo can't get to the point of driving.

Chen Luo can still control a girl like Isabella. When encountering those ladies in their thirties, the only thing they have to do is to keep running and not look back.

Isabella stopped until she ran out of the garden and said, "Blair, ignore them, they have always been like this..."

Chen Luo shrugged and said that he didn't care.

Isabella took him to the door of another room, looked at a middle-aged man at the door and asked, "Uncle Carter, is your father inside?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Here, the city lord said that the lady can go in directly when she comes."

Chen Luoduo looked at the middle-aged man. The feeling this person gave him was no less than that of the four vice presidents of the academy and Baird. He should also be a senior magician.

Isabella and Chen Luo walked in and said, "Uncle Carter is the head of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, and he is a high-level magician."

After being here for so long, Chen Luo has roughly figured out that a high-level magician is the peak that most people can reach in their lifetime.

A great magician is a hurdle. It is not a hard work for a high-level magician to break through to a great magician. Therefore, the number from a high-level magician to a great magician is almost a cliff-like decline.

As powerful as Teacher Britney, she has been stuck at the peak of a high-level magician for a long time.

Great magicians are extremely rare, and the city lord's mansion guards at the level of high-level magicians are no longer weak.

When Chen Luo and Isabella walked into the hall, Auston was sitting on the sofa and talking to a middle-aged man. He signaled to Isabella and Chen Luo slightly. Isabella took Chen Luo to sit down on the sofa in the distance.

The middle-aged man smiled at Isabella, looked at Auston again, and shook his head and said, "I don't know why, His Majesty the King insisted on letting Walter come to Apo City to see what Apo City has become in the year he came. The civilians don't know anything, they will only blame you..."

Auston said: "He came to Apo City, and even in the King Capital, he offended too many people. If Walter was not the queen's younger brother, he would have died in the King Capital long ago. Don't worry about Walter. Compared to him, Emmons's old fox is a problem..."

The middle-aged man showed concern and said, "Walter doesn't have to worry, but it is said that the tax officer who came to Apo City this time was his friend. Last night, Walter secretly visited him..."

Listening to the conversation between Auston and the middle-aged man, Chen Luo's guess was probably confirmed.

Isabella's father was not in harmony with the other two giants in Yabo City, especially with the Finance Minister, who may have reached a point where he is incompatible.

But the Finance Minister was delegated from the capital with a deep background. Even the city lord could not kill him. Over the past year, there has been a lot of friction between the two sides.

Of course, Auston can't do anything to the Secretary of Finance, nor can the Secretary of Finance shake the Clavis family. After all, Apo City is the base camp of the Clavis family, and they have been operating here for many years.

As for tax officials, it is a nightmare for the rulers of any city.

In the Kingdom of Lorraine and many countries on the mainland, personal property is protected by law. Those who seriously infringe on personal property will be sent to gallows.

This is the case for the protection of personal property, not to mention the state property. Officials who dare to touch national taxation will often end up in extremely miserable ways.

The Kingdom sends tax officials to various cities to inspect taxes every year. The tax officials have great power. Once tax problems are found, officials of the city lord and finance minister can directly take them down. Compared with this power, there is absolutely strength. A tax official has at least one great magician and several senior magicians. Wherever they go, all the officials in charge of finance are frightened...

Although the financial power of a city is in the hands of the Finance Minister, it seems that it has little to do with the city lord, but when facing the tax officials, even the city lord has to lower his head.

The tax officer who came to Apoll this time was a friend of the Finance Minister, which was obviously not good news for Auston.

Auston was silent for a moment before waved: "I'll talk about this later."

After saying that, he looked at Isabella and said, "Sasha, you go out first. I have something to say to Blair alone."

Isabella looked at Chen Luo, then at Auston, resisted the idea of ​​asking, stood up, and walked out slowly.

After Isabella left, Auston looked at Chen Luo and said, "First of all, I have to thank you for protecting Isabella. If it weren't for you, I'd lost her..."

Chen Luo sat on the sofa with a calm expression and said, "Men can't leave women and run away by themselves."

Auston continued: "Sasha said, you take good care of her at school?"

Chen Luo said: "We are all students of Teacher Britney, so we should take care of each other."

"You mean, what Sasha said is true?"

“This is what it should be.”

Auston looked at him and asked, "Then she said in her dream, "You kissed her, hugged her, and bullied her, is it true?"

Chen Luo was stunned for a moment and asked back, "When did I kiss her?"

"That means, you hugged her and bullied her?"
