The Island Republic has always been a vassal state of the Qiqiu Empire in name. Its supreme ruler is called the "Governor" like the local officials of the Qiqiu Empire. At the beginning, its Governor was even directly appointed by the Qiqiu Empire. However, after the Island Republic gained more autonomy, it was elected locally.

Although the name is still "Governor General", the Governor General of the Island Republic is actually a lifelong autocratic ruler. The local commercial aristocracy tried many times to reduce the power of the Governor General, but until Pattisipacchio became Governor General, there was no other measure to restrict power except for a series of oaths that were three times longer than the previous Governor General before taking office.

In such an island republic, a major riot occurred after Ella left in a hot air balloon. More than 300 richest commercial nobles gathered together in an unprecedented manner and blocked the carriage of Pattisipacio, who was guarded by the guards, on the way to the Governor's Mansion.

"Pathisipacchio! We have heard of it! There are three elves above magicians who have entered the Alchemy Academy this time!" Someone shouted to Pathisipacchio in the carriage, "There are now nearly 15,000 soldiers from the Pirate Kingdom outside the city, plus three elves magicians, how do you prepare to protect our lives and property!"

"You should be impeached!" another man shouted, "We will exile you from the island republic!"

Patisipacio was in a bad mood, but when he heard that the nobles were all over the blame on him, he immediately got angry: "Dandolo! This time the Almani coalition went to war, how much money did you make for reselling military supplies? Do you dare to talk to everyone here? Pietro! When the war started with the Qiqiu Empire, you were the ones who caused the most fiercer! Why have you become the master again? Others, you dig out your hearts and take out your intestines to see. Before I started the war, aren't you all the masters?"

"It is in the interests of all citizens of the Island Republic. Of course I am the main station! But I have never agreed to you to send all our navy!" Dandolo, named by Patisipacio, shouted below, "When the war started, we obviously had an advantage over the Qiqiu Empire, but now we are besieged by the enemy on the island! All the Allies you are looking for are gone! Isn't this caused by your incompetence? How are you going to be responsible?"

"The city defenders are less than 5,000 now. It is hard to say whether they can block the three elven-level magicians. How do you plan to resist the attack of those 15,000 soldiers!" Another named Pietro also faced Pattispachio at the bottom, "Once the enemy starts the general attack, the capital will fall within three days! For the sake of the present, the only way is to hang you on the head of the city wall and open the door to beg for peace!"

"Responsible? I also captured the Republic of Liguria! How did you say that it was the credit of the soldiers at that time? If it was a war, there would be victory or defeat. I am not a general. Why should I beg for peace? Haha! Pietro, please keep your eyes open and take a closer look. It was not the Seven Hills Empire, but the Pirate Kingdom that surrounded the city! Have you ever seen pirates who put a box of gold coins and just picked up a few Nomisma from it? If you want to beg for peace, I can send you as an envoy, for fear that it was not me who was hanged first, but you, Pietro!"

After saying that, Patisipacio looked at the guard beside him and waved his hand forward: "Continue to move forward! Those who want to block the carriage will crush them with the carriage, and those who want to climb onto the carriage will chop off their palms. If they fail, they will also transfer the soldiers guarding the city to suppress them! I am the governor, what are they!"

The guards drove the carriage again at the order of Pattisipacio and squeezed out of the crowd. From behind the carriage, the angry voices of the commercial nobles came: "Pattisipacio! We will definitely exile you! Then, we will rebuild the Senate, establish a Grand Parliament, the Supreme Court, and restore the truly classical republic!"

Patisipacio heard it and sighed in the carriage: "Republicism, republicism is good. If this war is a resolution made by the parliament, no one will be responsible for it."

The carriage stopped at the Governor's Mansion. Pattisipacio staggered into his bedroom with the help of his servant and opened a bottle of strong wine that he had always treasured. The night gradually faded, and he leaned against the window and drank the muffled wine glass after glass until he drank the entire bottle.

"Yi, Ipolita!" he shouted in a vague manner with his tongue, "Get another glass of wine!"

Soon after, the door opened, and a black-haired maid walked in with a bottle of wine and carefully placed it at Patisipaccio's table. Patisipaccio was stunned for a moment, and carefully looked at the maid's face with alcohol.

"Where is Ipolita?"

"Master, you forgot that she has gone to war and hasn't come back yet."

"What about Giovanni? Let Giovanni come to see me!"

"Mr. Giovanni has also gone to war and has not come back yet..."

"All have gone to war? What about my army? Where has my army gone!"

Patisipacio's roar echoed in the room for a while, and finally calmed down helplessly.

"Master, what else is there?" the maid asked.

"It's okay, get out!"

Patisipacio roared and drove the maid out, and smashed the wine she brought to the wall. Then, he lowered his head, covered his eyes, and made a whimper.

A strange voice suddenly came from the room: "It's pitiful. There are no subordinates and subordinates who can resist the enemy. Only a lonely fat governor is left."

Patisipacio raised his head in panic. The sound came from an inconspicuous corner of the room, where there was standing with a smiling Avicenna.

"Avicenna!" shouted Pattisipacio, "How did you come in!"

Avicenna bowed exaggeratedly: "Go back to Governor, the wall material of the Governor's Mansion is too simple. I can go in and out as I want."

The excessive etiquette and Avicenna's words and smile made Patisipacio feel a deep sense of mockery. He couldn't help but stand up and yelled in a louder voice: "You fugitive! I don't have time to pay attention to you now! Leave here immediately, or I will take your life!"

Avicenna smiled and shook her head: "I'm afraid the opposite is true. The island republic is unable to take my life, but if I leave here, you will die."

The cruel sense of reality made Patisipacio fall back onto the chair. He covered his head and asked in a crying voice: "What do you want to do when you come here!"

Avicenna opened his arms in the dark: "Why are you crying? Your luck is coming. Look, a magician who is beyond the elves, comes to help you defend the city. There is also the navy, the naval fleet of the Tianfang Empire is ready to go. As long as you nod, our Navy General Barbarossa Heiding will come in person to help the Island Republic defeat Andrea Doria!"

"real?"

Patisipacio stood up again excitedly. But not long after, he lowered his head and sat back on the chair.

"So… what is the price?"

Avicenna smiled deeply.
