2. Renunciation is sin
Sloit City is the largest city in the north of the Grimm Empire, on the territory of the Grimm Empire, there are no more than ten such large cities, and Sloit happens to be the northernmost one, it is located at the confluence of the Galloping Horse River and the sea, the turbulent and turbulent Galloping Horse River to the north to the south, from the snowy mountains all the way down, until the north of the Frosty City turned east into the sea. The www.biquge.info is to the south of the city of Sloit, and the meandering White Elephant River flows from south to north, slowly flowing into the sea.
Summer in Sloitt is short, so people will cherish it. Because in the summer, many men of the family will organize together, board a big boat, sail down the Baixiang River into the sea to fish, and when each cabin is full of salted fish, it is time to sail home. Some people say that summer is the harvest season in Sloit, but it makes sense.
The council hall of Sloitt is an ornate marble building built just north of the city's central square. The marble building is 30 meters tall and has a crescent moon that stretches across the north side of the town square. On the stone steps in front of the hall stand five statues of the greatest magicians ever seen, from left to right: Shatun Ellie, Ball Lie, Parubui, Komol, and Rongyu. Of the five great magicians who promoted the progress of human magic, three of them all represented fire magic, but each of them created greater achievements in fire magic. The first on the left is Xiatun Ellie, an outstanding great magician of the electric system, who has always been the most respected and proud person of the Ellie family, and he is also the first patriarch of the Ellie family.
Wall Elle is the seventeenth patriarch of the Elle family, ever since he took over as patriarch. The ships of the Eilides had at least nearly doubled, and Wall changed the fate of almost all of the Eilidians. In the past, they were able to live a well-fed life, but Wally Ellie has turned each of them into a veritable big farmer. Big businessman, big boss. The Ellie family has become one of the wealthy people in the northern business community. Some people say that if you want to walk from the land of the Ellie family, it will take three days and three nights to ride the fastest horse, not only that, but the Ali family has a monopoly on shipbuilding, steel and other industries in the north, no wonder even the current king wants to give the head of the Ali family three thin noodles for everything.
Now the Ellie family has an unprecedented event, and all the dukes in the entire north are following behind the Ellie family, and it can be said that Wall Ellie controls nearly 70% of the army in the north of Green. There are only a handful of royal knights who will not be at the mercy of Grand Duke Wall Ellie. Grand Duke Wally Ellie is the one who covers the sky in the city of Sloit.
Last year, the smartest and most adorable youngest granddaughter, Sha Ellie, was also named Princess Sha by the Queen. This is arguably the happiest thing about Wall Ellie.
Now he sat on the big chair in the conference hall and was furious, and yelled at the chief guard Ming Hao, who was in the dust: "How could it be that you didn't receive it? It's been more than half a month since the flying pigeon passed the book, and the old man Mosra personally went to the imperial capital to pick up Sha, how could you not pick them up, how do you stupid people do things?"
"No, no. Really, our horses have seen the beautiful Blazing Imperial City, but they haven't seen Teacher Moras and Princess Sha. Please give me a few days, Lord Duke, and I will definitely be able to find Princess Sha this time!" the chief guard stood on the red carpet in fear. At this time, he couldn't say anything even if he had a stomach.
In this chamber sat the elders of the city of Sloit, who had always been favored by the old Duke of Wall. But this time, I can't help but say that this young man is a little careless. It was too underestimated that Princess Sha's status in the heart of the old Duke of Walter was originally a rare opportunity to make meritorious contributions. This time it might be a big deal for the young man.
"Hmph, what the hell are you doing as a chief guard?" Beads of sweat appeared on the old Duchess Wall's forehead, and the sapphire wand clutched in his hand was thrown to the ground. The beautiful wand fell crisply on the marble floor of the conference hall and rolled down the smooth marble.
This wand was the most precious gift that Old Wall gave to Sha Ellie before she went to the Royal Academy of Magic, and Princess Sha must have always been with her, but now this wand appeared alone in the conference hall, and Princess Sha was never heard from.
The sweat on Ming Hao's head had become cold, and he was horrified in his heart: I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to get out of the relationship this time. This wand in front of him is enough to make his head fall to the ground.
Kai sat at the back of the conference table, the youngest of all the people seated, and his proud face always had an offensive look on his face. Kai has the ability to be confident, because he is the youngest and best magician in Sloit City, and he has inherited all the excellent genes of the Ito family, and this time, Kai feels that it is time for him to show his talents.
Kai propped his hands on the table and said to the old Earl Wall, "Miss Sha may have been kidnapped by bandits, as long as I bring a regiment of troops, I will definitely be able to sweep away those troubled bandits outside the city." I don't believe they dare to touch Miss Sha. β
"It was my momentary negligence that made the banditry in the north more and more serious. Hey!" Old Wall took a long breath of speech, looked at the ironwood cigarette pouch pot in his hand, and a lonely look appeared in his eyes. This hand probably hasn't touched that sapphire wand in 20 years. The use of force is also the next strategy, even after using it to rescue Baosha safely, it is not too late to discuss it.
Who can be sure what the deranged bandits will do to Babysha?
"But Princess Sha's return convoy has Teacher Moraes in it, with Teacher Morath's magic, how can the convoy go wrong? If the thieves really have the ability to resist Teacher Morath's wood magic, can the strength of a single regiment really deal with these thieves of unknown origin? Jing Yue, the leader of the Guard Knights, frowned, she was as cold as frost, and even when she spoke, she had a feeling of being on the verge of winter.
The only thing Kai didn't dare to offend the most was this prospective fiancΓ©e who had a marriage contract with him, and what Jingyue Aili said was not unreasonable. Kai Wei sighed and sat down slowly. Leaning back on the comfortable mahogany chair made him feel extremely grounded. Only then did he say dejectedly: "I just want to save your sister's heart." Why do you pour cold water on my head? The Intelligence Agency has not found out such a serious matter. Who's to blame?"
Jingyue Aili glared at Kai Ito fiercely, and asked in a cold voice to Huo Dumu, the director of the Intelligence Agency, who was sitting opposite him, "Director Huo, don't you know anything about the bandit army now that the bandit army is coming to the city?"
Everyone is accustomed to the fact that this eldest lady rarely speaks in the conference hall. But what the eldest daughter of the Ellie family said carried the most weight in the heart of the Duke of Wall. And the person Jingyue Aili asked was the intelligence director Huo Dumu sitting opposite her, her sharp eyes were fixed on Huo Dumu's face, and anyone could see that her cold face was murderous. The head of the Knights of the Guards has always had a long-standing relationship with the Director of Intelligence, and these few words. Obviously, Jing Yue was interested in making trouble with Huo Dumu.
If it is said that the bandits kidnapped Princess Sha, then it seems that it has nothing to do with the intelligence agency. But the bandits did not have the ability to hijack the convoy escorted by Mothra, so that no force could quietly hijack Sha on the snowy ice field, but now things are just the opposite, Princess Sha's convoy has disappeared on the snowy ice field for some reason. Such a big thing has nothing to do with the Intelligence Agency, but I am afraid that such a big move by the bandits is inseparable from the Intelligence Agency.
"This ...... Come on!" Huo Dumu's fat face couldn't help but tremble, and his thick lips let out a low snort, the recent indulgence in alcohol has made the originally strong intelligence director pale, and he can only nest in the office like a pig all day looking at boring documents. Or tease a pretty female secretary. As for official matters, there are very few that he personally intervenes in. However, Huo Dumu was a man who rarely made mistakes, and such a cautious old fox could even show a panicked look in the conference hall.
It finally occurred to him that Tawang had something to say to him in the morning. But because he woke up late, he was even late for the morning meeting, so he didn't listen carefully to what Tawang said. I think it's too late to regret it.
As the sound just fell. A young man stood up from the row of chairs at the door of the conference hall. The young man was dressed in a light archer suit, and his small eyes moved flexibly. The sharp chin of a knife is very individual, and Hodumud's voice has just ended. The young man answered, "What's the matter?" β
"Hmph, Tawang, what are you doing? What are the nearly 500 of your subordinates who are responsible for collecting intelligence doing, and why can't you even get the information that the bandits outside the city want to kidnap Princess Sha?" Huo Dumu's voice turned from low to high, and he seemed full of confidence.
The chief guard standing next to Tawang Ming Hao glanced at Tawang proudly, but Dawang just didn't see it, and quickly said: "Report to the director, Princess Sha is now receiving restorative treatment in the space magic room of Sloit Hospital, Vice President Deyi and the dean of the Galloping Horse Academy are in a consultation, and Princess Sha seems to be suffering from a very serious coma now." β
"That ......" Huo Dumu tried to interrupt Tawang, but was choked back by Lu Miheng, the head of the Finance Department who was sitting next to him, "Shut up!"
"At present, all the information we have received from outside the city was sent from outside the city yesterday morning, and from yesterday afternoon to this morning, we have been cut off from the intelligence station outside the city for a whole night. Still, we've gathered pretty frightening information...... "Tawang suddenly fell silent, and the room suddenly fell silent.
Old Duke Wall frowned, obviously he wasn't used to waiting. So he muttered for a moment before saying, "Why don't you go on?" young boy. β
Tawang's compact and extremely harmonious face suddenly had a look of pain in that moment, but it was only for a moment. Hearing the old duke's question, the king hurriedly saluted and said, "Because what is going to be said below, our intelligence department has not verified and confirmed, so this information is not 100% accurate. β
Jingyue Aili asked urgingly, "Say it quickly!"
Tawang paused slightly, and said solemnly: "According to our information, the nomadic Celtic tribe who originally lived among the barbarians of the ice and snow tundra did not know when they crossed the defense line of the North Wind Legion and hid near the city of El, and their entire tribe has nearly 8,000 warriors, posing a great threat to our Sloit City. They appeared as if out of thin air, without the slightest sign of it. Then all of a sudden, he jumped out of the galloping river. β
"What? Eight thousand barbarians of the Celtic tribe suddenly appeared outside the city of El? All you need to do is ride a horse," Baron Kai's snow-white handsome face suddenly turned iron-blue, and he almost jumped up.
Jingyue Aili looked at the timid baron of the Ito family with disdain. He continued to ask, "So, our guard regiment has something to do." β
After speaking. Jing Yue Aili, the eldest lady of the Eili family, who was the most glamorous in the city of Rut, walked straight out of the conference hall.
The people in the conference hall looked at each other, and the little granddaughter of the old Duke of Wall's heart was in a coma, and the secretary-general next to him glanced at it, and Secretary-General Rattle announced the end of the meeting very familiarly.
Then, the old Duke of Wall hurried out the door with the already restless director of the Sloitt Hospital. The ministers in the chamber followed suit, rushing to Sloitth Hospital.
There were only three people left in the conference hall for a while.
Only Baron Kai, who sat in the last row of the conference hall, sat in his chair with a gloomy face.
The chief guard Ming Hao, who was standing on the side, also smiled proudly: "Tawang, what do you say Jingyue's rose is doing now?
"Huh. Whether you go or not, the result is not the same! The hateful fellow, who has always been self-righteous, will bow down before me before sunrise tomorrow, oh! No, you should be my slave! Sooner or later, their sisters will fall into my hands!" Baron Kay looked at the stained-glass windows of the conference hall with incomparably sharp eyes.
Tawang smiled strangely before saying, "She has angered you, so let her taste the bitter fruit of her own brewing." β
"No! she gave up on me! She shouldn't look down on her fiancΓ© like that, I want her to know. Sell her into a brothel, she is also a ****. Her so-called noble bloodline is actually worthless, hehe. That is only the glory of the ancestors, how can a person from a noble family live by relying on the glory of his ancestors? The mind is not flexible. From now on, Sloit City should be in the hands of our Ito family!" said Baron Kai in a deep voice. Whenever he thought of this, Baron Kai would feel inexplicable pleasure all over his body.
"If when she sees that there are not eight thousand Celtic warriors waiting for her outside the city. It's the barbarians in the ice and snow tundra tribe that are dozens of times more than this, and I don't know if our eldest lady can come back alive. But Master Kay. You promised to give Princess Sha to me, and you can't let her hurt in the slightest. Tawang smiled, and his eyes full of **** almost narrowed into a slit.
Ming Hao said with a smile on his lips: "Why don't we go to the bar and sit down! Today will be the longest day." Let's try the first gift that Madame Calle gave us!"
"Is it Morayal's sweetheart? If it weren't for the fact that she and her father were involved in the battle of the Ellie family, I would never have been willing to attack her, but she has always admired me! I really don't want me to destroy my position as an idol in her heart. Minghao, Tawang, you must know that even the devil does not want the image of the devil to be engraved in everyone's heart. "Baron Kay's eyes are narrow and bright, and he likes to revel in them when he speaks.
Baron Kai took a moment to put away his intoxicated expression, and the corner of his eye swept the door of the conference hall slightly. He said calmly, "Master Dale, are you here, why don't you come in?"
The door of the conference hall was slowly pushed open, and from the outside walked in a burly and outstanding-looking man, dressed in a cyan embroidered golden mage robe, showing his high status. There was a faint purple glow condensed in his purple pupils, and he walked straight in front of Baron Kai, and said calmly: "Count Ito asked me to come, let me tell you, it's not too late for you to stop now!"
Baron Kay's eyes immediately lit with a faint blue flame, like a burning hellfire. Everyone understands that when the people of the Ito family are provoked, such a flame will appear in their eyes. This is also because the people in the Ito family have a peculiar constitution, and their bodies flow with unique elements of fire magic.
"Big brother!" Tawang, who was standing beside Kai, hurriedly stopped him.
Baron Kai's eyes began to dim slowly, and he snorted in a dull voice: "You are here, just to talk? Do you know what kind of life we Ito family have been living all these years? Do you know how many people have spent so much effort on this plan? What are we for? Is it just for our own selfish desires?"
Dale smiled faintly before he said, "Kai, I know that you have been carefully preparing for this plan for five years, and it can be said that all your efforts have been spent on this plan. So I didn't expect to be able to persuade you. In two quarters of an hour, Count Ito will leave here, and I will go south with him, and I will say goodbye to you today, and I will meet indefinitely. β
The blue flame in Baron Kai's eyes then faintly dissipated, revealing a little sadness. He frowned and said heavily: "Dale, do you really want to go away with your father? Don't you still want to help me? Why do you still not understand that their so-called politics and laws are completely a tool to satisfy their personal desires, and you really don't want to try to change them? Look at what the current society has become. β
Dale turned around silently, and said with Baron Kai on his back: "Until this moment, I really gave up on you, you have grown up! Kai, you have learned to think independently, and now you have done something wrong, no one will bear it for you." It's like if you do something right, you'll have that glory to yourself. I have decided to leave Sloith now for the sake of the old earl's face, or I will stop you. Though...... Forget it! β
The words made Baron Kai, who was sitting in the chair, his face gloomy again, the green tendons on his forehead were slightly raised, and his fierce gaze was fiercely fixed on Dale. (To be continued.) )
