Chapter 228: Lord of Order
As a thorn in the side of the wicked and the need to maintain order, the Island of Order has its own military power, and the person who nominally rules the Island of Order is a well-known figure in the entire Empty Realm.
Generally speaking, such a character basically sees the beginning but not the end, and even if he can see it, he has to make an appointment for ten days and half a month first.
Therefore, Sheila was very skeptical of the authenticity of the messenger who came to the door and said that she was sent by the Lord of Order to deliver the message.
After Sheila and the others arrived in the town of the Island of Order, they found a relatively large hotel to settle in, they didn't have much money, so they couldn't be too picky about the hotel.
Although it is said that Jia Ailu's head is genuine, everyone is not sure when those who have identified it will be able to pay the money, if it drags on for ten days and half a month, during this time, everyone can really only go to sleep on the street.
Although there are intermediaries on the Island of Order, the tasks inside are all tasks on other floating islands, and the Island of Order itself is very peaceful, even if there is any commission, it is the guards of the Island of Order to complete it. If you want to make money by entrustment, you basically can't quench your thirst by far water.
While Sheila struggled with financial issues, the invitation was like a pillow delivered to her door.
But the problem is that this invitation only invited Tsuki Sakura alone. Tsukizakura's own safety, Sheila isn't worried, but will he be able to meet the good guys...... There is a big question mark.
After thinking about it for a while, after the moon cherry blossoms who had just woken up and were still a little dazed, they decided to go with her.
The reason is very sufficient, "Tsukizakura is still underage and needs a guardian".
According to the law of Selskar, Tsukizakura is only a semi-civil person.
The invitation was delivered by an old man over half a hundred years old, wearing a monocle and a crisp dark blue suit, exactly like the image of the old butler who came out of the book.
In the face of Sheila's reason, the old butler did not have any opinion, but helped her into the carriage very intimately.
If there is a world of empty boats that still uses horse-drawn carriages as a means of transportation, should it be said that the development is unbalanced, or is the idea of the rich more unique and ordinary people can't understand it?
After Sheila and Tsukizakura were seated, the old butler drove and left with the two of them.
After confirming that there was no one else in the carriage except the old butler, Sheila immediately grabbed Tsukizakura by the collar and leaned forward with a look of guilt.
"Sister Sheila?"
"Have you done anything good lately?"
Jaaru is just a leader of the thieves, and although he is strong, he should not be noticed by the person who rules an island, so the only possibility is that Tsukizakura, who is idle, is doing something again, and the others know about it.
"Good thing?" Tsukizakura thought for a moment and counted her fingers, "It's nothing, it's just a favor when I was in Breeze,...... I didn't do anything, did I?"
Speaking of Breeze, Sheila recalls her fears. At that time, it was really any random one that dropped to Gransefara, and the team was wiped out. Sheila had been autistic for a while before she recovered from her great fear.
And it was since then that Sheila has seen a lot.
"Since you didn't do anything weird...... Is that Xie Luo giving information?" Sheila naturally suspected that Xie Luo, the only one who knew most of the information at the moment, was a businessman, and maybe he sold them for a good price.
Sheila was suspicious, but Tsukizakura continued to doze off heartlessly.
After that, they got off at a small estate.
It is said to be a small manor, but in fact it is just an old house with a small yard. Sheila didn't know what the previous architectural style of the Empty Realm was like, but this small manor was obviously the same style as it was decades ago.
"The master is already waiting inside. The old butler walked ahead to open the way, and instead of going into the house, he went straight to the backyard of the small manor.
Tsukizakura finally woke up now, and seeing that Tsukizakura had entered the state, Sheila finally slowed down her mind and quickly followed.
There were no extra people in the backyard, only a young man who was about twenty years old, making tea, with delicate desserts on his delicate plate, looking like he was going for afternoon tea.
Although it is only 10 o'clock in the morning, it is still a long time before afternoon tea.
"You may be seated. The young man smiled and said kindly, "I am the Lord of Order, Scott." β
After pouring tea for the three of them, the old butler stood aside and acted as a background board, and after Tsukizakura sat down, her eyes glanced around. The only ones who really started talking were Sheila and Scott.
After exchanging pleasantries and exchanging friendly feelings with each other, Sheila said with a straight face, "I wonder what Mr. Scott has to do?"
Scott smiled and didn't say anything, just glanced at the slippery Tsukizakura, and Sheila understood.
"First of all, it's a bounty. Scott snapped his fingers, and the old butler took out a bag the size of two men's heads out of nowhere, and the sound coming from it was full of gold coins. "I'm grateful for your fight, Jaaru is a tough enemy. β
Sheila sneered at the empty realm without a banking system and said, "It's nothing, but it's probably more than that?"
"I want to ask, where is the teacher of Yueying's little friend?"
Tsukizakura reacted after being poked with an elbow by Sheila, and he took his eyes off the dessert and reacted for a moment before replying, "I'm Yakumo-ryu!"
"I haven't heard of it. Scott didn't continue on the question, he straightened his sitting posture and held out his hand to Tsukizakura, "Still, it's nice to meet you." β
Here it comes.
Sheila stared at Scott's outstretched hand, her mental activity intense.
This is the so-called handshake to test the strength of the opponent, right?
What Scott's strength is, Sheila doesn't know, as long as she is a cultivator, she is an incomprehensible existence for Sheila - she can poke herself to death with one finger anyway, and level 4 and level 7 are no different.
Tsukizakura looked Scott up and down, then at Sheila and the old butler, and shook it.
Sheila immediately closed her eyes, ready for the shock of the magic.
However, nothing happened.
"Yueying Xiaoyou is younger than me, but he is far superior to me in strength, and he is really a hero. Scott gave Sheila a strange look and smiled, "Actually, I have a reluctant request. β
"What?"
"You should have heard of the accident in Breeze. β
Not only did I hear about it, but I was there at the time.
Of course, Yueying didn't say that directly, but nodded.
"A floating island suddenly collapsed, and it was important for us to find out why. Scott said solemnly, "This time it's a lucky thing that the collapse is an uninhabited area, but what if it's inhabited next time? β
Scott's words were very righteous and awe-inspiring, but Tsukizakura's reaction was just a faint "Oh." β
"Actually, the scholars of Garonzo have found the wreckage of the collapsed floating island, but they have entrusted us with it because it is too dangerousβalthough this is one of the obligations, my Order Cavalry is short of manpower. β
"Oh...... Are you asking me for help?"
"That's right, with your strength, you must be quite helpful in this investigation. Scott was a little embarrassed and said, "If it weren't for the lack of manpower, I wouldn't have asked for your help." β
Tsukizakura scratched her head and looked at Sheila, who understood and answered, "I'm grateful for your trust, but...... Reward Question ......"
Just kidding, as soon as you open your mouth, you want to hire a level 7, how can there be such a good thing.
"The reward will not be disadvantaged to you, but the specific situation needs to be discussed, but everything is negotiable. "The Island of Order has always been fair, so you don't have to worry about that," Scott said. β
"That's ...... So, please let me go back and think about it. β
After seeing off Sheila and Tsukizakura, Scott collapsed in his chair.
"Grandpa, don't let me continue to pretend in the future, I'm so tired. "The polite young leader is gone, and now there is only a junior who is complaining to the elders.
"If you can't hold this point, how can you be the master of order in the future?" the old butler stroked his beard and sat next to Scott, "What do you think of that one named Tsukizakura?"
"Grandpa, you know, he found out that you are the real Lord of Order from the beginning......, right? This kind of test is too boring. β
"I don't even know my strength, and I'm not qualified to participate in this survey. "The old butler is the one who really leads the Island of Order, and the head of the Order Cavalry, he is only old, so he retreats into the background and hands over all the work to his grandson Scott.
But the appearance of Yueying forced him out.
The old head of the regiment had never seen a cultivator who had stepped into the realm of reason in his teens, not to mention whether he was an enemy or a friend, this talent and strength alone was enough to make the old leader happy when he saw the hunt.
And after some observation, Tsukizakura was recognized by the old leader.
"In this investigation, you have to ask him for advice, I can't leave the island of order, and if you encounter any threats during the investigation, you can rely on him. β
"Grandpa, we're not even friends specifically, you say that...... What if he doesn't appreciate it? And Miss Sheila didn't agree. β
"Rest assured, she will agree, and soon. The old head drank his tea down, "After all, cultivators like to meddle in things. β
The person who drove Sheila and Tsukizakura back was a different one, and Tsukizakura was happily eating with a bunch of desserts, while Sheila was still thinking back to the conversation just now.
"Speaking of which, the information that we are earthlings has been exposed?"
"The identity of the old butler has also been revealed. β
"Yes, each other. β
