Chapter 389: The City Lord's Scheme

Card City is actually not very large, and by the standards of the New World, it is barely a second-rate castle, and if you want to rent the carriages that can be found everywhere in the castle to tour the city, one day's time is completely enough.

Jiang Han didn't have the idea of browsing the card city, he just felt that he was a little bored in school, and there were a lot of things recently, it was rare to be able to come out and take a walk on a crisp autumn afternoon, and take a walk casually, no specific plan was required, and there was no need for deliberate arrangements. Thinking about it, with his own face, he shouldn't be interrupted by others when he walks on the street, right? Jiang Han thought so, and walked like this, and walked not far, only to see the place where the school went straight to the left for a few hundred meters, Huo Ran suddenly became cheerful, lively, and naturally prosperous.

The Academy of Magic, in the end, is a school that shocks the continent, and it is full of students who are proud of the sky, even if ordinary people are a little powerful, no one wants to run to the school gate unless necessary, except for some rental carriages that squat outside the door all day long and wait for business to come to the door, even those who sell snacks are difficult to see at the school gate.

But here is different, like a bustling pedestrian street, not to mention the shops on both sides of the street, outside the shops, all kinds of snacks, pasta snacks, all kinds of fried boiled instant food, naturally there are all kinds of shops in the name of magic.

And the most, it is a clothing store, here is close to the Academy of Magic, there are not many others in the Academy of Magic, there are many rich people, not to mention the place close to the school, it is inevitable that there will be some shady entertainment places, people rolling among the dogs and horses, relying on beautiful clothes and exquisite play about the Academy of Magic to feed this pedestrian street! At least on the pedestrian street, Jiang Han walked all the way and met many students of the magic academy who had a little impression of himself, just like ordinary people, there were a few buddies, a few sisters, and young couples, who swaggered through the market as if no one was around.

Even Jiang Han saw a few mentors, as if they were attending some kind of party or dinner. Anyway, none of this has anything to do with Jiang Han, he is just a person who appreciates the scenery. It's a pity that this rare half-day of leisure and leisurely was interrupted when Jiang Han turned out of the pedestrian street.

The two men with respectful expressions but exuding the aura of a strong man all over their bodies intercepted Jiang Han's way head-on, and told him very gently but unmistakably: "Your Excellency the City Lord, please send us two brothers to invite you to the City Lord's Mansion for a gathering." "The city lord of Kacheng, Jiang Han has naturally heard that if Kacheng is a small kingdom, then there are two kings in this kingdom, one is Xiong Xiong, the principal of the Academy of Magic, and the other is Adero, the lord of Kacheng.

It may be whether Xiong Xiong allowed Adero to divide his respect and power in Kacheng, or Adero allowed Xiong Xiong to hold the power of Kacheng with him, and enjoy the glory and glory that Kacheng as a whole brings to the people of Kacheng. It should be said that these two people are a pair of old enemies, and they have never heard that one mountain can accommodate two tigers, not to mention that these two tigers are not one male and one female.

Jiang Han had heard that the headmaster Xiong Xiong had never appeared in the City Lord's Mansion, and Adero had never appeared in the Academy of Magic, as if the City Lord's Mansion and the Academy of Magic were two forbidden places, one forbidding Xiong Xiong's involvement, and the other prohibiting Adero's involvement. These two old rivals and old enemies, they must be involved in entanglements in interests and other aspects, even if they are not enemies, they are definitely opponents, and now their strength is not strong enough to ignore a strong person like Xiong Xiong, this Adero can compete with Xiong Xiong, his strength may not be lower than Xiong Xiong, and even a cut higher than Xiong Xiong, so now he will intervene in the battle and even the battle between the two of them, which is not in line with his own interests, let alone his current identity and status.

And now, Xiong Xiong hasn't found himself yet, but this Adero has come to the door, is he trying to win him over? Jiang Han's eyes were cold, and he said lightly: "It seems that if I don't plan to go to the City Lord's Mansion, the two of you are planning to invite you, right?" The two were stunned, and hurriedly lowered their heads: "Don't dare, we just act on orders, and we will never dare to have an offensive act of forcibly inviting distinguished guests." ”

Jiang Han hesitated for a moment, and decided to go to the City Lord's Mansion to have a look, even if it was just to see that mysterious city lord in Kacheng, few people have seen the true face of the city lord, and more importantly, this high-powered city lord can actually know that he is such a "little person", can there be no secret line of him in the magic academy? Who is this person, he must find out, otherwise, when he tries to help Xiong Xiong in the future, if he treats Adero's inner ghost as his own, it will be a big joke.

Yes, Jiang Han didn't plan to stand on the side of the city lord Adero, through the entourage of the city lord's mansion, he actually dared to run outside the magic academy to force guests, but it can be seen that in the battle between Xiong Xiong and Adero, this old headmaster is at a disadvantage, not to mention anything else, just after helping Adero deal with Xiong Xiong, he still wants to develop his strength in Card City, this Adero will agree to do so? Xiong Xiong is different, with his own help, even if he can kill Adero, with his team, I am afraid that he does not have the ability to take over Card City completely, and the large and small gaps and loopholes in this are enough to use his own strengths.

Calculated like this in his heart, Jiang Han nodded at the two entourages of the City Lord's Mansion: "Okay, lead the way, I've been in Kacheng for so long, it's time to visit the City Lord." The two entourages frowned in unison, this young man was so rude, in Card City, except for Xiong Xiong's god mage who was immortal, who would dare to be so rude to Adero who was a god fighter? They were not peerless masters, but they were just ordinary entourages in the City Lord's Mansion, so naturally they couldn't find out how high Jiang Han's cultivation was, and how dangerous this person was.

It is no wonder that people who put joys, sorrows, and sorrows on their faces can only be followers. The corners of Jiang Han's mouth curled, and he stepped onto the carriage summoned by the two entourages with a whistle, the car was shaky, and Jiang Han, who lifted the curtains to look at the passing scenery, was a little sleepy in this warm autumn sun. Yawned boredly, Jiang Han didn't deliberately remember the road, Kacheng is so big, could it be that Adero and his first meeting will not be arranged by him in his hidden place?

Jiang Han was right, the carriage drove smoothly all the way to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and someone outside the door answered, and the two entourages could not go further after entering the door, and there was someone else who led the way. The city lord's mansion is very wide, and I don't know how long the winding road has been, and the people who led the way have changed several times, and finally stopped at the door of a large house, and a person who looks like a housekeeper is standing on the steps of the door with his hands crossed.

"This is Mr. Jiang Han, right? The city lord has been waiting for you for a long time. The housekeeper waved his hand casually, and the two entourages who came in silently led the way left quietly, and the housekeeper smiled at Jiang Han with a smile, "Please forgive me, the city lord originally wanted to greet you at the door, but there are still distinguished guests to accompany you, so ......" Jiang Han didn't care about the stall hand: "I'm not our principal, how can I be worthy of the city lord to greet me personally, and having Mr. housekeeper waiting outside the living room door for a long time already makes me very uneasy." ”

Hearing him mention Xiong Xiong, the butler's face showed obvious displeasure. "City Lord, Mr. Jiang Han has arrived. Greeting Jiang Han up the steps, the housekeeper turned to report to the closed door. There was a hearty-sounding laugh from inside: "The people below are quite neat this time, you go and tell everyone that you will have to do things so neatly in the future." ”

Immediately afterwards, the hearty voice smiled again: "Funi, it seems that this student of yours is also a cheerful person, and I am full of confidence in this discussion." Then a familiar woman's voice sighed: "The city lord has praised me falsely, where am I qualified to be his mentor, all this is just acting according to the city lord's orders." ”

Sandra Funi, the young woman's mentor, Jiang Han's heart moved, and he solemnly accepted Adero's invitation to meet this time. They are obviously talking to themselves, this Sandra Funi is Adero's inner ghost in the Academy of Magic, it is said that before he signed an alliance treaty with him, such an important inside line could not be exposed, but they were so exposed, why is this?

Could it be that Adero is really so confident that he can guarantee that this time he will force himself to make an alliance with him? Jiang Han couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, he hated being called by others as an entourage, this Adero is really an arrogant and stupid guy. However, Sandra Funi doesn't seem to be from a humble background, listening to the tone of the two, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is obviously greater than the other relationships, how could she become Adero's pawn?

Jiang Han felt that he was afraid that he would have to reconsider, not to change the original intention of joining forces with Xiong Xiong to deal with Adero, but this alliance, he also needed to hear as much news as possible from Adero. Xiong Xiong's cultivation, at least Jiang Han felt that he could make a draw with himself who was going all out, and join forces with this kind of master, if he didn't want to be his vassal and obey his command, then only he could also show the strength to be qualified to be his ally rather than his subordinates.

Xiong Xiong can become a big man who is on a par with a city lord in Card City, but he was unexpectedly stunned for a while, and then smiled bitterly, and finally sighed softly: "Yes, yes, the truth that I have been pursuing over the years is actually from the mouth of the real enemy, it seems that the storm in Card City is really coming this time." As for Adero's last sentence full of threat and courage in Jiang Han's belt, Xiong Xiong didn't take it to heart at all.

Adero has recruited more than a dozen or even dozens of saint warriors, but Xiong Xiong is confident that once he fights, if he can kill Adero alone to take revenge, these people will at most kill him in the end. He didn't speak again for a long time, and just when Jiang Han thought that Xiong Xiong was also waiting for him to express his intention to join forces first, Xiong Xiong said lightly: "It's okay to tell you, your cultivation method, well, it's a little weird, Adero is interested in this." It's not about the big picture, so have you decided what you're going to do?"

However, without waiting for Jiang Han to say his decision, Xiong Xiong shook his head and sighed: "I ask this, as if I want to take the opportunity to let you choose between light and darkness, do you want to know the story between me and Adero?" Jiang Han sat up straight: "If the principal is willing to tell me, then I will listen." "Actually, it's just a matter of one sentence. After a pause, suddenly, Xiong Xiong's beard was all open, "My family is young, I was killed by someone back then, all these years, I have always suspected that this is Ed's**, but unfortunately there is no proof In Jiang Han's opinion, Adero's self-confidence is stupid."

This person, you have to admit that his aristocratic temperament is indeed very good and powerful, but it is this so-called aristocratic temperament that may be invincible in front of everyone else, but in front of Jiang Han, it will not have a positive effect at all. He only knows that respecting himself, at least this is still a person who can be related, and he just wants to use his identity and status to suppress people, with Jiang Han's current cultivation, although it has not yet reached the point of being the best in ancient and modern times, but this world is so big, where can he not go? In this card city, with his strength, he is also fully qualified to talk to this Adero on an equal footing, at least Adero should show respect for an ally.

And the reason for Adero's self-confidence to conceit, Jiang Han only summed up one, that is, he was too high and too conceited. Suppressing people with power, this may be Adero's usual trick, he can collect the talent group that compresses Xiong Xiong in the magic academy, and his ability is naturally good, but he can imagine that most of the talent group under his command is probably forced by him to get it, right? It turns out that Adero is thinking about subduing himself, not looking for his own alliance! Jiang Han smiled lightly, Adero has his ambitions, doesn't he have it? This huge city lord's mansion doesn't seem to be able to trap himself as a dragon, and wants to subdue himself as a subordinate? In this world, such a person does not exist yet! So, Jiang Han smiled.

Sandra Funnie's heart palpitated for a while, this student of her own, since she was ordered to develop him, probably knew that she was facing a guy who was more than enough to be her own mentor, and her mood had not been completely relaxed. Thinking that this guy would most likely decline Adero's offer, Funnie glanced at Adero with some dissatisfaction. This city lord, to be honest, is a pretty good person among the strong, but his attitude of being a self-conscious nobleman, let alone a master like Jiang Han, even Funi herself can't accept it.

Can't you just sit down and talk about many things calmly and reciprocally? Why do you have to act like you're superior, and always treat others as a tool, only caring about what can be used and what's not available, and whether it's acceptable or not? Funi was suddenly a little panicked, she was very worried about Jiang Han, who was angered by Adero's high profile, and turned around and went to join forces with Xiong Xiong. She couldn't see through Jiang Han's cultivation and attainments, but presumably Adero as a god fighter and Xiong Xiong as a god mage, they could see through it, right? In contrast to Adero's attitude, if this "student" of her own and Xiong Xiong, who was much better than Adero in terms of cultivation and personality, had really joined forces, would this guy really have no back at all when he walked into the City Lord's Mansion so calmly? Thinking of the powerful god mage who made him fearful, Funi shuddered.

If this young man who smiled and didn't let Adero look at him take the lead here, and Xiong Xiong sat behind and prepared a trap for Adero to jump on, it would be hard to say who would die and who would live if he started today. I want to talk about "The Holy Venerable of All Worlds in Another World" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
