Chapter 199: Prepare in advance
Cangliu Fort.
It stands to reason that the castle of all the cities, that is, the dwelling place of the lord of the city, is the most lively and prosperous place in the whole city;
But here...... Although there was a majestic castle in place, the other buildings in the vicinity could not keep up, and everyone knew that the actual center of the city was the three guilds;
Today, however, it was a bit more lively, and far away, Eddie and his party saw a large crowd of people gathered in the open space in front of the fort, and many people were there transporting building materials—they didn't need to use the optical analysis module, they knew that they were building a lectern.
"This is the place where there will be the most information in the future. "Add found a tavern nearby, ordered a few dishes, and left the three Maggies here - their looks were quite eye-catching even over there;
If something really happens, it's too much to be blamed for being the mastermind, so go investigate a few times and then come back for dinner.
Coming closer, Add began to realize that he didn't need so many people to work in the construction position, and that he had a cement base that had been laid long ago, and that he only needed to lay up the planks, carpets, and other things, and make some decorations;
The people around the side are more like supervising...... Or rather, they are discussing something;
Eddie saw several familiar faces.
At intervals, one of the guild leaders who had been sitting next to the president during the previous meeting could be seen;
In the most conspicuous position directly in front of the cement platform, the two people who were being discussed, Eddie, knew each other;
One is Chang Po, the vice president of the Scorching Flame Guild, and the other is the titular owner of this city, Viscount Qingyang;
Looking at the attitude of the viscount, there is no posture of the lord of a city at all, Eddie complained in his heart;
On the contrary, Changpo asked for this and that there, with a look of "I have already given you face......
The aristocracy who had no real power seemed to be miserable.
Add didn't say much, just pretended to wander around and slowly approached the two of them;
The content that these two people talk about will probably be more valuable.
"Okay, then I'll explain this first. As soon as Eddie was within the distance where he could hear the two of them talking, he heard Changpo say this;
"Well, then I'm going to continue my rounds. The viscount responded;
...... It's just me who just arrived!
Add complained inwardly, and then planned to pretend that nothing was wrong and walked away-
But the viscount walked in the direction of the two.
...... I don't think I'll talk to myself anymore, right?
Glancing back slightly, he was also commanding, Changpo was still shouting, and Qingyang was much more humble......
Tsk, the eyes actually met.
There was no way, Eddie had to give Qingyang a polite smile - otherwise it would be too bad for the city lord to lose face;
Then the lord of the castle hurried to catch up.
Not really...... Eddie smiled bitterly inwardly;
Anyway, if you can talk to him, you should be able to get a lot of relevant information.
"Hello, Viscount Qingyang. Eddie's use of honorifics obviously warmed Viscount Qingyang's heart, and his cheeks, which were already lacking in edges, were now like freshly baked bread, giving people a soft and lovely feeling;
...... But this is a viscount, don't you feel that you have no majesty?
"Hello, adventurer...... I remember your name was Add, from out of town, right?" "It seems that the viscount still has a good memory—this detail makes Eddie feel good;
"Yes...... Is the Viscount here to inspect?"
"Yes, that's the biggest thing I've had to do as a viscount in recent times. There was a bit of self-deprecation in the Viscount's tone, "The guild presidents will be speaking here in the future...... I have to do it better. ”
"Is it enough to be imposing enough?" Eddie deliberately diverted the subject;
"No, of course not...... The most important thing is safety, there will be more people coming here, and my main responsibility is to make those guards protect the grounds...... Avoid conflicts among those young people with strong blood, haha. ”
"Your work looks important...... there's definitely more to it," thought Add.
"There may also be people here who arrange some traps and magic for the whole person. The city lord smiled a little embarrassedly, "If the leader of a major guild offends himself, it may not be easy to retaliate in normal times, but ......
When the speech is at a critical stage, it is still possible to use water magic to make the speaker make a fool of himself. ”
...... These people really value face, don't take such things as revenge?
"Although there are also things like using powerful magic arrays to directly murder speakers, you also know that those magic arrays are easy to spot because their magic power is relatively strong, on the contrary, those magic arrays of whole people are more difficult to find...... The magicians who belong directly to Cangliu Castle will patiently check it. ”
Hmm, that means there might be a magic circle here...... Do you want to bring the night star to have a look?
"Well, I have other things to do...... Maybe we'll have the opportunity to meet again later. Qingyang smiled and nodded, "I know from your face that you must be someone who will achieve great things...... Maybe there will be a day when I can count on you. ”
I'm pretty good at judging the situation...... Although Eddie thinks so, he says that he can't say it directly;
After a few more pleasantries, the viscount went to work elsewhere.
And then the long slope side...... His attitude didn't seem to be very good before;
It belongs to the passerby who is very easy to handle on the surface, but it is actually very troublesome...... It's about the same as boulders;
Thinking of this, Eddie is going to look elsewhere-
"I say, there are too many idle people here!" Eddie heard a somewhat impatient shout from behind him, "Irrelevant people get out of here as soon as possible!
Hmm, are you starting to chase people...... Speaking of which, there are indeed a lot of people watching the excitement at this time.
There was a rush of people, and for a moment there was a bit of crowding ahead, and Add was ready to wait a little before leaving—
But the long slope came straight towards Add.
"Don't linger here, adventurer. Changpo's tone was not polite at all, "Your curiosity will get in the way of our serious work. ”
...... There are so many people, why do you just call me one?
Besides, he seems to have seen himself before he shouted this? There were quite a few people just now...... Didn't it hinder the normal construction?
Add wasn't going to argue with him—on the one hand, he was really unreasonable, and on the other hand, he ......
The tavern dishes are estimated to have been served.
Speaking of which, it doesn't seem that he is responsible for construction here...... It seems to be some decoration or something? He compares the objects he paints, and carries some carpets, banners, and other ornaments;
Well...... Perhaps, there will be a need for further investigation later, Eddie thought.
