Chapter 19: The Strange City of Hill

"It's none of your business! what should you do?" the team leader had a very bad attitude.

"We were sent by the Academy of Brightness to Hill City on a mission, and this mission is likely to require the army of Hill City, we agreed with the city lord before, so ......"

A small city like Hill City already had a limited number of troops, and now using so many soldiers would inevitably have an impact on their mission.

"I don't care what you're here for, don't get in our way!

As he spoke, the captain actually shoved Marianne.

"You ......."

This is Mick also stepped out of the car, carrying a double knife and looking menacing.

"Hey!" Marianne hurriedly stopped Mick and headed straight for the leader.

Marianne didn't know why a team leader could be so imposing.

Seeing that the war was about to break out.

"Westin, stand down. ”

At this moment, a young man's voice came.

"Yes!"

Hearing the young man's voice, Westin's previous arrogance vanished, and he lowered his head and walked back to the middle of the group.

A young man stepped out of the carriage.

The young man was dressed in aristocratic clothes, and his status was extraordinary at first glance, and this person's appearance was also very handsome.

"You're students at the Academy of Light? I'm Seipur Hill. He is the son of the Lord of Hill City. ”

"Hello, we are students of the Academy of Light, and we are here for the sake of the orc Rand. ”

"Oh, I know about Rand, then go into the city! My father is waiting for you. ”

"Is your team going?"

"Oh, they accompany me to hunting. We'll be back soon, and we won't delay your mission. Sepple explained.

"That's good, then let's go to the city. ”

With that, everyone got back into the steam car and continued to march towards Hill City.

It wasn't long before Seiper's carriage caught up.

"Sepelle, aren't you going hunting?" asked Marianne.

"I thought that you finally came to our Hill City to help, and I, the son of the city lord, would always feel that I couldn't get over it if I didn't fulfill the friendship of the landlord, so I let them go first. Sepple said.

"Mr. Seppel doesn't have to care, we also received assignments from the school, and this is what we should do. ”

"Even so, you're doing us a favor. When you get to Hill City, just let me make arrangements. ”

This time, everyone really felt what hospitality was.

"Okay, that's really bothering you. ”

"I will now take you to my father, and then I will take you to your place, and you will rest before it gets early today, and tomorrow we will discuss the matter of Rand. ”

Marianne thought for a moment, but agreed.

A steam wagon and a carriage soon arrived at Hill City, and the guards at the city gate saw Seppur's carriage and immediately let it go.

Everyone went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

The Castle Lord's Mansion is located in the very center of Hill City. I heard that this is the tallest and most luxurious building in the whole city. Some people even say that the current city lord's mansion is the imperial palace of the old era, so it is enough to prove the luxury of this city lord's mansion.

After everyone approached, they found that the rumors were true, and this place was really worthy of the name.

The whole building is white, this white is different from the gray and white of Fengdu City, the white here is even a little dazzling in the sun, and this white has a slight yellow, making it look flashy but not demonic. And there is no trace of time here, it seems that the annual maintenance fee here is a lot of money.

Entering the mansion is even more splendid, carved beams and paintings. Hardly a single wall here is plain, either frescoed or embossed, and each one is famous and styled, all by the hands of famous artists.

What's more, such an exaggerated design actually complements each other in this building.

This made Mick want to use a very apt word to describe it - magical.

Because this mansion is not something that ordinary craftsmen can complete from architecture to decoration design, and then to decoration, these craftsmen are not only the world's top but also the unparalleled existence of the entire Bright Realm.

"Wow, this is the most luxurious City Lord's Mansion I've ever seen!"

Marianne couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, Mick thinks so too, because after Marianne and Siasu are both dukes, if they both feel breathtaking, it is really luxurious to the extreme.

Sepur said with a slight smile.

"Normal, do you know why this city is named Hill City? It is because my ancestor Follen Hill was the founding meritor, Hill City was also a fief granted to him by the first king, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, the mainstream profession of our Hill family is architects, and the first task of each family head is to repair the City Lord's Mansion. So it's not surprising that it has been able to grow to where it is today. ”

"I see. ”

"Well, my father is either in the study or the reception room now, let's go slowly, and I will give you a detailed introduction to my home. ”

Sepul will walk almost every step of the way to the reception room, for every brick of his house seems to be full of stories.

Seipur, on the other hand, seemed to be a natural orator, and the crowd seemed to be listening to a vivid history lesson. No one would be bored by Seiper's words.

In this way, everyone went from sunset to sunset, and did not reach the reception room. I don't know if it's because everyone is walking too slowly or because the City Lord's Mansion is too big.

Just as it was getting dark, the lights in the yard came on.

These lamps emit a yellow glow, and the yellow light presents a luxurious and noble light that is different from that of picking up people during the day.

"It's getting late, let's go to the reception room. ”

As he spoke, Seppel quickened his pace. The crowd followed.

I walked into the reception room, a slightly dimly lit room, the room was antique, and there were bookshelves everywhere.

A man was sitting in a chair at his desk with his back to the crowd.

"Father, the students of the Bright Academy are here. ”

Sepper said respectfully. But the other party did not respond, and it seemed that he was asleep.

Seiper cautiously walked over and gently patted his father on the shoulder.

"Hmm~ what's the matter?" an old voice came.

"Father, the students of the Academy of Light have arrived. ”

"It's here, how did you come. ”

The city lord's tone was obviously a little dissatisfied.

"Because I took them on a tour of our house along the way. ”

"That's it!"

As he spoke, the city lord's chair turned.

It was a slightly old face, with gray sideburns, probably due to his age, and the fact that he was not well rested, there was no brilliance in his eyes, and his face was not happy or sad, and he couldn't see what his mood was at this time, but it was certain that he was not so happy now.

"Hello City Lord, we are students of the Academy of Light, and this time we are here for the orc Rand is matter. Marianne said respectfully.

"Well, I know, the academy communicated with me beforehand. It's been a hard journey, and it's not too early now, so let Seiper take you to rest first, and tomorrow we'll be working on it. ”

"Okay, then we won't disturb your rest. ”

So everyone walked out of the conference room lightly.

After walking out of the reception room, Seipur quickly apologized to everyone.

"I'm sorry, every night is my father's time to read and rest, so his mood is a little low, this is my negligence, the road is delayed for too long. ”

"It's okay, we don't want to disturb the rest of the city lord. Marianne said hurriedly.

"You should have a good rest tonight, and wait until tomorrow. ”

Seipur took the four of them to the most luxurious hotel in the city, which was brightly lit and bustling. It's like a nightlife paradise.

Along the way, many people recognized Seppur, and they all said hello to the 'Young City Lord' and the 'Young City Lord'.

Soon they came to the door of the inn.

"Young City Lord. ”

Before entering the door, a few receptions came out, and these receptions were all young girls. The clothes are revealing and sexy, but they don't look debauched, seductive but mysterious. It looks very eye-catching.

"These are my friends, they're going to stay here for a few days, you know how. ”

"Understood. Several receptionists replied in unison.

After a few words, Sepur turned and left.

And several receptionists also brought them into the room. After simply dropping off their luggage, everyone gathered in Marianne's room.

After a brief meeting, Marianne began to wrap up.

"Rest early today, and negotiate with the city lord tomorrow and we'll go out of the city to arrest Rand. Mick stayed for a moment. ”

After the others left.

"How's it going?"

"I'm okay......." Mick nodded, but it was clear that he still had something to say.

Marianne saw this, too.

"Is there anything you'd like to say?"

"It's a little, weird. ”

"Strange?" Marianne didn't understand why Mick felt that way.

"Yes, don't you find Sepul a little strange?"
