Dusk is approaching, and although the weather is sultry, the sky under the setting sun looks a bit cold.
Jumping off the gryphon with yellow-brown fur and vermilion eagle feathers, Zijing looked a little tired. After all, she hadn't had a good rest since she got the news of the sage's disappearance, and she stayed up all night yesterday.
"Every time I fly, as long as you use acceleration magic, I will feel a kind of pain." Zijing tilted her head and glanced at Emina, who then slid off the gryphon, "Oh, what a pity. I heard that the wind attribute is
A rare source of magic, but what you are best at is illusion."
"It's auxiliary magic, not acceleration magic." Emina corrected, "It's not illusion, but illusion magic. Illusion only gives people illusions and cannot simulate real objects. Besides, my weak
How can one learn high-level wind magic from the source of magic?"
"Anyway, as a guy who can only play with swords, I prefer your magic." Zi Jing showed a bright smile, "You go and ask Long She to put that damn box dragon cart on, Miao and I
Miao will come after just saying a few words."
Zijin said, walking towards the casting shed on the side. Behind the casting platform, a thin and weak figure was holding a pitch-black hammer to hit the burning steel block. Sparks flew and fell on his downy body,
There were some burnt black marks, but he didn't care at all.
"Miao Miao, clean up." Zi Jing leaned against a pillar, holding her hands in her arms and said, "I will go to the Governor's Mansion later, and when I come back, I will take you back to the hut in the mountains."
"Eh..." Miaomiao made an unpleasant voice, "I just came here not long ago and I haven't had enough fun, so why are you so anxious to ask me to go back?"
"You don't miss your master at all?"
"That damn old man, no one wants to miss him!" Miaomiao waved the hammer and gestured, "Let me pretend to be a forging master. I can't deal with Sister Ling's broken sword at all."
"What's the use of a broken sword? Just recast it."
"That's not possible!" Miao Miao said with brilliance shining in her eyes, "Sister Ling's broken sword, if I read it correctly, is made of fine dragon tooth steel. It would be a pity to throw it away. But I don't think so.
Find a way to dissolve it."
"Yeah, then it's even more important to go back." Zijing pulled him to her side, touched his head and said, "Sister Ling will soon follow the sage to travel. As the proud disciple of the casting master, shouldn't you?
Can you help her prepare the weapons and equipment? I believe your master must know how to dissolve the damn dragon's tooth steel."
When Emina accompanied the coachman to drive the dragon carriage to the open space in front of the casting shed, Zijing just walked out of her room. She had already put on a violet silk dress, and her long light gray-purple hair was beautiful.
match together.
"After all, we are going to see the governor, aren't we?" Looking at Emina's widened eyes, Zijin explained, "Although his title is lower than mine, he is the manager of this city after all. No matter what, I have to give him some money.
To save face.”
"Actually, when you dress up, you really look like a rich girl. It's a pity that you always dress in men's clothes and scare away many men."
"That's easy to say." Zi Jing pursed her lips, "Even these stinky men in the regiment wouldn't understand even if they dress up."
After getting into the dragon carriage with Emina, the driver drove the armored dragon onto the path down the mountain towards the Governor's Palace in the city center.
It wasn't until it was almost dark that I arrived in front of the Governor's Palace. The street lights had been lit, and there was still an endless stream of pedestrians on the road. As an important seaport city, Solde is almost a city that never sleeps, always ready to receive voyages.
Returning sailors, and business travelers entering the city overnight.
The city guards on duty in front of the gate recognized the redbud at a glance and saluted hurriedly.
"The Marquise de Bauhinia."
"Is the Governor here?" Zi Jing waved his hand, "I have something urgent to see him."
"The Governor is having a meal, I will go and report it right away."
Looking at the back of the guard pushing the door open, Zijing himself was not very confident in convincing the governor. After all, most of the speculations were based on the capture of the sage, but such a thing must not be made public. This would not only make the saint
The Law Watch Group loses face, and it is also a huge thing for the country.
But when it comes to last resort, I have to tell the truth. After all, the survival of the entire city is more important than face.
Just when Zijin was thinking hard about how to persuade the governor, the governor had already come out in person.
"The Marquise Bauhinia is such a rare visitor. I have invited you several times, but the Marquise does not like to be restrained and prefers to have fun with the people in the tavern."
The other person is a capable man in his early fifties, with a short beard on his face that looks a bit messy, and he is wearing a simple gray gown. I have to admit that this man is successful in his position. In this country where there is drought every year, the country
In the turbulent days, he still tried his best to maintain the prosperity of Solde Port. Nearly half of the country's food supply is due to his contribution. Moreover, he also controlled the market price of food very well, and tried his best to suppress the profiteers.
Price gouging.
"The Governor is a busy man, how can I dare to disturb him at will?" With the Governor's courtesy, Zijin walked side by side through the outer courtyard and towards the hall built by the Lord. "Besides, although Zijin has a title, he is actually no different from a foolish warrior.
, or the noise of the tavern is more suitable for me."
"Hahaha, Miss Zijin is joking. If you don't mind me calling you that (Zijing shook her head and said it doesn't matter)." The Governor smiled boldly, "Miss has a straightforward personality, and as a member of the Holy Law Watch Group Sold
If a regiment leader always acts like a lady, how can he control the many people under his command?"
After coming to the hall and sitting down, after the servants brought the brewed black tea, and after a few pleasantries, Zijin brought the conversation to the main topic. She explained in detail the inferences obtained from the meeting at sea, and of course avoided talking about the sages.
Everything. However, it is difficult to see what the Governor thought after hearing the news, because although his expression became serious, it did not fluctuate much.
"Anyway, I think the current situation should close the city gate and make war preparations." Zijin finally said.
"Please forgive me, but closing the city gate is a very serious matter." said the governor. "If everything is just based on conjecture, it is difficult for me to issue such an order. After all, Solde is a commercial city and is open to trade.
This is the most basic principle in this city. If there is no solid reason, people may panic. Moreover, there are a large number of beacon towers in the south. If the thieves are really so rampant that they invade many villages and towns, there is no way that no news will spread.
"
"Those beacon towers have long been destroyed. And the villages and towns that were looted were either killed or captured. It is impossible for any survivors to come to report." Emina said anxiously, "But because of dogmatic issues, we did not
Convey the news to the Governor's Palace."
"What!" The governor's face showed displeasure, "Since it is restricted by dogma, then the conversation we are having today shouldn't happen."
"Okay, I know I can't hide this matter even if I want to." Zi Jing made up her mind, "But I hope that only the Governor knows what I'm going to say next, and it won't spread to the ears of anyone else."
After seeing the governor reluctantly nodding in agreement, Zijing continued unsympathetically, "The sage has been born and is now in the hands of Beast Heart!"
