Chapter Twenty-Four: Let's Open!

At noon, when the heat was at its worst, Marquis Bird marched to the cliff with about five hundred men, and likewise saw the small and luxurious palace.

"Extravagance!"

This was Bird's first impression of the place.

'Boom~' with a loud bang.

The palace gate slowly opened, and a red carpet about twenty meters long stretched from the entrance to Bird's feet. Six handmaidens stood at each end of the carpet with flower boxes.

Seeing this, Bird ordered the soldiers to rest outside the door, and he took two attendants and stepped on the red carpet in the rain and entered the temple gate.

"Greetings to the Marquis!"

What caught his eye was Shen Zhongrong's honest and honest face, who was arching his hands, standing on the left side of the temple door to greet Bird.

"You already knew I was coming?"

Bird was a little curious, this other face under the honest outside.

"As a sincere partner, Zhong Rong is always waiting for the Earl. ”

'Wise Oriental!'

This was also Bird's first impression of Shen Zhongrong.

Without too many polite words, Bird slowly came to the guest hall under the traction of Shen Zhongrong, and along the way, Bird also looked around at the seemingly temporary palace.

'Elegant!'

This is Byrd's exclamation about the layout of the temple.

"Please!"

Taking the tea handed by the beautiful girl beside him, Bird looked at the tea cup in his hand. Although he had heard Brand mention the delicacy of this so-called 'tea', he did not rush to eat it, but became interested in this tea cup that looked like a work of art.

"If the Earl likes it, give it to the Marquis. ”

Shen Zhongrong applauded, and then a servant brought a delicate brocade box and opened it, which contained a complete set of blue and white tea sets.

"This piece is called blue and white, just like the blue and white wood that you and I work on. ”

"Thank you then. ”

Bird was not polite, and the man behind him took the brocade box from the servant's hand very interestingly as soon as he finished speaking.

After taking a light sip, Bird's eyes lit up.

"What a 'tea'. ”

The fragrance of tea is overflowing, and the thick and pure tea flavor fills Bird's entire mouth, although he also took a little from Brand, but he feels that the 'tea' in his hand now is the best of the 'tea'.

Shen Zhongrong folded the fan lightly, shook it lightly with a splash of ink, and said with a smile: "This tea is 'Longjing before the rain', there are many types of tea, and the one that was given to Baron Brand before is also a treasure!"

Bird pursed his lips, savored the light green tea in his hand, snapped his mouth twice, and said slowly, "I came here today to apologize for Brand's behavior yesterday." ”

Shen Zhongrong's eyes narrowed slightly, and the honest smile on the corner of his mouth became brighter and brighter, "It's my subordinates who are ignorant, if I can know it early, I won't accidentally hurt the Marquis's subordinates." ”

After that, Shen Zhongrong waved his hand, and two strong men with fat waists and round arms dragged a middle-aged man who was beaten and covered with scars, that person had a strange appearance, and his length was about two meters six, but it was not Fu Manchu.

"When Zhong Rong found out yesterday, two of the Marquis's subordinates had already died at his hands, and now they are in the hands of the adults, how to deal with them, please decide for yourself. ”

Shen Zhongrong slammed the fan and clenched his fists with both hands.

The two guards that Bird was carrying with him were about to step forward to receive Fu Manchu as soon as Shen Zhongrong's words fell, but they were stopped by Bird raising his hand.

"I originally came here to apologize, this matter was done wrong by Brand, how can I punish your loyal subordinates?" Bird stood up and helped Fu Manchu, who was dying from being beaten on the ground.

"I haven't thanked the Marquis yet!"

Shen Zhongrong's eyes flashed, and he glared at Fu Manchu fiercely.

"Thank you...... Thanked...... Marquis...... Adult. ”

Fu Manchu's voice was weak, and he seemed to have exhausted all his strength before he finished speaking.

Bird was silent, and the guards behind him helped Fu Manchu up instead of him.

The clear gaze met Shen Zhongrong's slightly 'honest' eyes, and Bird said slightly, "In addition to blue and white wood, what else do you need?"

"Nothing more!"

Shen Zhongrong kept smiling all the time, and the folding fan in his hand also lightly unfolded the fan again.

Bird nodded, and drank half of the tea in his hand.

The two of them didn't say anything, sat quietly opposite each other, except for the slight sound of drinking tea, there was no sound.

................................................................................

"Morildo, we can't go any further. ”

An iron-clad knight stopped Morieldo, who had been a little grumpy lately.

"Something happened. ”

Morieldo looked up at the knight.

"There is news from the royal capital that Marfa Peak is about to open, and we need to go back all to prevent any changes. ”

The horse snorted and paced back and forth for two steps, and the knight in armor placed his right hand into a fist on his left chest, and after a salute, he ignored Morildo, who was still stunned.

The sound of horses' hooves trampling on the bluestone slab was very crisp, Moriel listened with bated breath, and could hear the entire town's army gathering in the same direction, and the dirty tent area, the town's major hotels, and the adventurers in the hotel were also packing their bags and preparing to leave Boone, who had been staying for half a month.

"It's going to change!"

Morildo stood up, lifted his golden axe, looked up at Boone, who seemed to be wrapped in dark clouds, and sighed, this time the 'Sky City' appeared, so that the adventurers and mobilizable armies of the entire Duchy of Vic were gathered in this small Boone, if something happened, Vic would no longer have the strength to resist the foreign enemy.

And Augustine in the hotel was also looking out the window, his expression was solemn, and he did not go to Xia Tiya as usual to pay homage, obviously, since Zhou Gongjin and the others had a battle, he couldn't tell whether the 'Sky City' that suddenly appeared in the depths of Maya Peak was a conspiracy of the enemy country.

"I'm leaving!" ”

Augustine turned his head, and the afterglow of the setting sun hit his face, adding a layer of sacredness to his already handsome face.

"Huh?"

Shatia, who was cleaning the counter, turned her head in surprise and asked, "Is it because the 'Sky Castle' is open?"

Augustine pursed his lips, as if he wanted to show his love before parting, but he felt that he still lacked a little courage, so he had no choice but to say, "If I come back, you must treat me to the fresh meatloaf and vegetable soup again." ”

Shatia's big beautiful eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and her right hand gently patted Augustine's shoulder, and said with a coquettish smile, "That... This is the agreement between the two of us, you must come back safely. ”

"Definitely!"

Feeling the residual warmth and fragrance on his shoulders, Augustine showed a bright smile, "You must wait for me!"

Shatiya pulled a strand of her hair behind her ear, and there seemed to be another figure in her beautiful eyes, chuckling, "Okay, wait for you to come back." ”

This sentence seemed to be addressed to another person, but Augustine did not hear it, and under the gaze of Shatia's beautiful eyes, he took the great sword and turned away.
