第二十三章 炼金少女不会受伤(6)(1 / 2)

海岛共和国在名义上一直都是七丘帝国的属国。其最高统治者和七丘帝国的地方官员一样,称为“总督”。一开始,其总督甚至都是由七丘帝国直接任命的。而在海岛共和国取得更多自治权后则改由当地选举产生。

虽然名称依旧是“总督”,但海岛共和国的总督实际上是终身制的专制统治者。当地的商业贵族多次试图削减总督的权力,但直到帕提西帕奇奥担任总督,除了在上任前念了一串比前任总督长了三倍的宣誓词外,就没有其他制约权力的举措了。

这样的海岛共和国,在艾拉乘着热气球离开后发生了一场大暴动。当地三百多名最富有的商业贵族史无前例地聚集在一起,硬生生把有卫兵护卫的帕提西帕奇奥的马车给拦在了前往总督府的路上。

“帕提西帕奇奥!我们已经听说了!这次攻入炼金术学院的有三个精灵级以上的魔法师!”有人对着马车上的帕提西帕奇奥喊道,“城外现在有近一万五千名海盗王国的士兵,再加上三名精灵级的魔法师,你准备如何保护我们的生命和财产!”

“你应当遭到弹劾!”另有一个人吼道,“我们要把你流放出海岛共和国!”

帕提西帕奇奥原本心情就不好,听到这群贵族把责任全都推到自己身上,当即就发火了:“丹多洛!这次阿勒曼尼联军出征,你倒卖军需物资赚了多少钱,敢不敢在这里和大伙说说?彼得罗!当初闹和七丘帝国开战,闹得最凶的就是你!怎么现在又成了主和派了?其他人,你们挖出自己的心、掏出自己的肠子来看看,我开战前,你们一个个难道不都是主战派么!”

“开战符合海岛共和国全体公民的利益,我当然是主站派!但我可从没同意过你送掉我们全部的海军!”被帕提西帕奇奥点名的丹多洛在下面吼道,“开战时,海军上我们明明对七丘帝国有优势,现在却反而被敌人登岛围城了!你找的阿勒曼尼盟军也全都不见了!这难道不是你的无能导致的么!你准备如何负责!”

“城里守军现在不到五千,能不能挡住那三名精灵级的魔法师都不好说,你准备怎么抵挡那一万五千名士兵的进攻!”另一个被点名的彼得罗也在下面和帕提西帕奇奥针锋相对,“一旦敌人开始总攻,都城三天之内就会沦陷!为今之计,只有把你吊死在城墙头上,然后开门乞和!”

“负责?我还攻陷了利古里亚共和国呢!那时你们怎么说是将士们的功劳了?是战争就有胜败,我又不是将军,我凭什么负责!乞和?哈哈!彼得罗,你给我把眼睛擦亮了仔细看看,围住城的不是七丘帝国,而是海盗王国!你可有见过放着一箱金币不拿,只从里面捡几枚诺米斯玛就走的海盗么?你要乞和,我大可以派你去当使者,就怕先被吊死的不是我,而是你,彼得罗!”

说完,帕提西帕奇奥看向身边的卫队,把手朝前方一挥:“继续前进!想挡住马车的就用车压死,想爬上马车的就剁掉手掌,再不成,就把守城的士兵也调过来进行镇压!我才是总督,他们算个什么!”

卫队们应着帕提西帕奇奥的命令再度驱动马车,硬生生地从人群中挤了出去。从马车后传来了那些商业贵族们怒不可遏的声音:“帕提西帕奇奥!我们一定会把你流放!然后,我们会重建元老院,还要建立大议会、最高法庭,恢复真正古典的共和制!”

帕提西帕奇奥听在耳中,也跟着在马车里叹了一口气:“共和制、共和制好啊。若这次战争是议会做出的决议,就不需要任何人为其负责了。”

马车停在了总督府。帕提西帕奇奥在仆人的搀扶下摇摇晃晃地走进自己的卧室,打开了一瓶他一直珍藏的烈酒。夜色渐沉,他靠在窗边一杯接一杯地喝着闷酒,直到把一整瓶酒全部喝空。

“伊、伊波利塔!”他大着舌头、含混不清地喊道,“再拿一杯酒来!”

不多时,门打开了,一个黑发的女仆拿着一瓶酒走了进来,小心地放在了帕提西帕奇奥的桌前。帕提西帕奇奥愣了一下,带着酒意仔细地端详着那个女仆的脸。

“伊波利塔呢?”

“老爷你忘了,她出征了,还没有回来呢。”

“那乔瓦尼呢?让乔瓦尼来见我!”

“乔瓦尼大人他也出征了,还没回来……”
