Episode 1 Martial Arts Master Chapter 48 Thorn Bird City
The next day, everyone was on tenterhooks and did not dare to step outside the door of the tavern. Aubrey and others even walked around with knives in their waists, looking around, looking here and there, nervously, and acting like
The security guards in the tavern were about the same, and some of the usually noisy drinkers did not dare to make a loud noise when they saw this situation. Simon became a little timid after the passion, so he pulled Morey and forced him to put on a dirty magic apprentice robe to strengthen his courage.
Then I set out to find a buyer.
Shen Zhimo still wanted to laugh a few words. He didn't know how popular the profession of magician was in the world. It was equivalent to the old officials who worked as errands in the government. They just found a hotel and sat inside, eating and drinking at half price. If they met someone with a bad temper,
Even if he didn't pay him, the boss wouldn't dare do anything to him. Even if he had the guts to complain to the Magic Guild, it would take a year and a half to get nothing done.
Shen Zhimo hid in his room and spent his time rewriting the destroyed "Thirteen Styles of Thousand Illusions". The movement of the Qi in this thing was very cumbersome and complicated, so it couldn't be delayed. If you delayed for a moment, you would easily forget it.
Since he did not agree to the registration of a mercenary group, Simon did not dare to make any independent suggestions. The matter was put on hold for the time being and will be discussed slowly in the future.
Simon went out and looked around for a while, but couldn't find a suitable buyer, so he wanted to find out some interesting news.
Knocking on Saga's door, Shen Zhimo slowly closed the draft of "Three Fantasy Thirteen Styles" and asked with a smile: "Dear Mr. Knight, how many gold coins did you get back?"
Simon closed the door with his backhand, turned on the magic air conditioner to blow away the hot sweat, and peeked forward. He didn't see what he was writing, and said: "Nightmare Vine is a precious item and should not be too public. I always ask people secretly.
, this matter cannot be rushed. Another thing is that the imperial capital is recruiting the whole society to be the vigilante of the Thorn Bird District in Nancheng. I want to give it a try and use my ability to get some benefits back."
"Recruiting? The position of a peace officer in an area as large as Nancheng is not low. Why is it not appointed directly by the superiors, but recruited from the society?"
Simon pulled up a chair and sat down and said with a smile: "That's it. The political situation in the empire is a bit chaotic. I think you are a barbarian from the Black Rain Forest and don't understand anything, so I will tell you in detail. The most powerful person in the empire
Of course, he is the emperor. The late emperor had no sons and passed the throne to his daughter, who is now Queen Sylvanas. However, since four years ago, Her Majesty the Queen has been bedridden and ignored the government, so she was canonized.
Cousin Posidis is the regent and manages the country together with the Prime Minister Duke Allen and the Grand Marshal Duke Winston, so the relationship is complicated."
"Oh, so three people are fighting for power and have trouble with each other?"
Simon praised Shen Zhimo for his quick thinking and said: "Not only are the three giants, but the Holy See is also involved. You must know that the power of the Holy See is omnipresent. Except for the Orc Empire and the Tauren Emirate on another continent, there is nothing they can't control. The Pope
Like Her Majesty the Queen, she never takes matters into her own hands, and Archbishop Tracy is responsible for the main affairs. Although the capital of the empire appears to be harmonious on the surface, in fact, they all have their own forces, and everyone wants to firmly control the empire. The regent has to decide.
The Prime Minister manages the affairs of the country, and has a large group of nobles under his command. The Grand Marshal controls the army, and the Archbishop relies on the Holy See to have all the power. This is because the power is too balanced. In the four years since the Queen fell ill, no one has truly
They had the highest power, and they feared each other, checked and balanced each other, and made the capital a mess."
"Adderfang is also a part of the military?"
"Not entirely. After all, the mercenary group industry is under the jurisdiction of the Adventurer's Guild under the Prime Minister. The Sheriff of Thorn Bird City died of illness last month, and the position is vacant. Everyone wants to place their own people. Under such circumstances,
But no one was convinced by the other, and they had several quarrels with each other without resolution. This person's proposal was rejected by that person, and that person's recommendation was opposed by this person. In the end, he couldn't make up his mind, so he just kept doing nothing and recruited from the whole society.
"
Shen Zhimo thought to himself: "It smells like the eunuchs trying to seize power in our country. It seems that the empire will be in chaos soon." He said: "Then what are the conditions for recruitment?"
"All adult male citizens of the empire who are in good health must have more than five years of military management experience, have no criminal record, and have outstanding skills. Recruitment is divided into three stages. The first is to submit a resume, and the second is when they think the conditions are suitable.
, you will be notified for an interview, and thirdly, it is a physical test. If you meet candidates with superior conditions at the same time, you will have a duel and the best ones will be admitted. The public security in Thorn Bird City is chaotic, and you cannot be qualified for the position of Sheriff without good skills.
.I think I’m pretty good. I’ll sign up tomorrow. How much money will I have to eat? If I really go up there and those bastards from Viper’s Fang come to trouble me, I’ll have to weigh it up a bit.”
Shen Zhimo pondered: "Those prime ministers and general marshals will definitely use their cronies to fight for this position. Can you beat them?"
Simon didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "If I can't do it, you can definitely do it. Before they officially fall out, they have to hide their strength and won't send too powerful experts to take action. The only thing missing from you is a citizenship and five years of management.
experience."
"What are the real benefits of being a Sheriff?"
"You don't even know the benefits of being an official? Let's not talk about how many silver coins the salary is. The filial piety paid by those gangsters is enough for you to buy a villa with a garden in Beicheng. Also, it is certain that
If we become the target of various forces to win over, then we will be able to sit back and relax."
Shen Zhimo sneered: "If you join one party, you will definitely become a thorn in the side of the other three parties. There is also another question, why would a little police officer let them have so many thoughts?"
"The Thorn Bird City District has the most upscale brothels and taverns, and is also the most famous entertainment district. It is very profitable. Who wouldn't want to take it down?"
Shen Zhimo's eyes suddenly opened and his eyes sparkled: "Simon, I have decided to be a sheriff."
"You? What should I do?"
"You are not that material. Let's go to the local household registration administrator first to resolve the issue of my civilian status."
When the moon was dark and the wind was high, the two of them put on their tattered old homespun robes and went out. The day before yesterday, they just took a quick look at the flowers, passing by in a hurry, and didn't appreciate anything. This time, Shen Zhimo experienced the prosperity of the city based on magical civilization.
